Although often inaccurately marketed as synthetic alexandrite, true lab-grown chrysoberyl (the species responsible for natural alexandrite) is much more expensive to produce. This lab-grown corundum, however, offers a strong and dramatic color-change effect due to the presence of vanadium within the crystal lattice.
