For those of you who love this stone, Gems En Vogue on Evine has a very nice ring on a TSV.  It is really pretty.  Michael V. did another good job.

Not a bad price ($299.95) for 1.83ct of Alexanderite.  I'm not wild about the setting but might consider it since it's my birthstone (June) and I've never had one.  However, I've sworn off more jewelry so I'll  abstain.  Thanks for posting though, @sunshine 919 .

I have owned a huge synthetic Alexanderite solitaire for 50 years.  I have priced the stone on EBay and it's value is about $700.  I love the unique color change properties.

@patbz.  I have one of those too.  Huge ring with exquisite silver work but nothing like real Alexanderite.  Mine is plum that chanes to dark blue depending on the light.  I got mine about 15 years ago from a dealer in Bangkok.  I think I also have a pendant...can't remember.  If I could get $700., for it, it would be out the door.  Never wear them, just too big.

I also have a 9mm Russian lab created alex.   It's in a wide gold band, and I've worn it every day, for as long as I can remember....

I got a friend at church I take bread and rolls too and she has a pink

alex. Don't know why I never acquired a pink stone since I'm pink crazy

 

I always thought they were just green. Most jewelry, you will come to learn there are no rules. Everything comes in every color.

Pretty ugly stone.... at least those on sale.... But Russian lab created are really great quality, the color change is perfect.
