Vintage Artisan-made Alexandrite Neodymium Bubble Hand Blown Pinched Vase. This is a stunning and unique piece! Alexandrite is dichromatic, meaning that it shows two colors, depending on the light. It appears a pale ice blue under fluorescent lighting and striking lavender under incandescent lights or sunlight. It's made with neodymium oxide (Nd2O3), a rare-earth binary compound.
Look through all of the photos and videos, to see the vase under natural light, fluorescent light, and finally LED/incandescent light for the changes in color. It truly is phenomenal!
A lovely piece to add to any glass collector's curation. Would also be perfect for a small bouquet!
