Zandrite
Zandrite® is a stunning, man-made glass that is specially formulated by combining rare earth elements such as neodymium, lanthanum and cerium to create its dramatic color change and color shift properties. Many of these rare earth elements are responsible for the wide array of colors seen in some natural gems such as apatite and bastnaesite. It was only after many years of experimentation (and much trial and error) that Zandrite® came into being. As the purple-green color change variety mimics the appearance and phenomenal property of extremely rare and expensive alexandrite, late Jewelry Television Co-Founder Jerry Sisk selected the name Zandrite® to describe the 100% color change exhibited by the green-pink, blue-purple and blue-lavender color combinations. The cranberry-magenta color combination delights with its intriguing color shift property. Additionally, some color combinations, such as the blue-purple and cranberry varieties, boast strong magnetism due to their neodymium content.

Zandrite® is the brand name for a man-made glass with the unique ability to color change or color shift depending on the light it appears in. This occurs because the glass contains trace amounts of certain rare-earth elements like neodymium, lanthanum and cerium which react to different frequencies of ‘white light’. Typically, this means the color seen in indoor lighting will be a different hue or shade compared to that seen in daylight. The name was chosen by the late Jewelry Television Co-Founder Jerry Sisk and is an allusion to alexandrite, an expensive naturally occurring color-change variety of chrysoberyl. A scientist was the first to create, then realize the potential of this stunning gem (completely by accident). JTV offer Zandrite® in a variety of different colors, each offering a unique color-shift.
