One is taken in incandescent light (lavender), the other in fluorescent light (blue). The amount of neodymium used in the glass formula can drastically effect the color change. That's why the older pieces are coveted by collectors. Heisey did an especially good job with their Alexandrite color in the 30's and their pieces can command several hundred dollars. There is a lot of new Alexandrite being made which is also good, and can be had at a reasonable price. The trick is recognizing the color at a flea market or sale.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]38487[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]38488[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]38490[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
