This Alexandrite simulant is crafted from lab-created synthetic purple corundum, displaying a distinctive greyish-purple hue. With a hardness rating of 9 on the Mohs Scale, these stones offer excellent durability suited for everyday wear. Their round faceted cut delivers classic brilliance, and calibrated sizing ensures consistent fitting across a wide range of settings. Note that calibrated gemstone sizes may vary slightly by +/–0.10mm.
These simulants are particularly versatile for studio jewelers—they are safe to fire in metal clay and can be cast in place, making them a practical choice for a variety of fabrication techniques. Clean with warm, soapy water; use of an ultrasonic or steam cleaner is generally safe.
