The difference between a natural and a lab-created Alexandrite is its origin. Both are identical materials and have the same molecular makeup. Lab-created have the same physical properties, visual characteristics and hardness level as the natural gemstones. Lab grown stones are created by man in a carefully controlled environment. These are typically of the finest quality as far as color and clarity.
