We do have some orders in for that color (#20210), but we usually receive a color that is a bit closer to pale sapphire.

Apparently the color-change Czech glass is very pretty (that icy-pink-lavender-blue) in indoor light, but I've heard it gets grayish outdoor.  I haven't personally seen this color-change though.  I will try it out as soon as I can.

I think this is what your customer is looking for ... it is a bluish gray outdoors, and a purplish indoors.  I'll see what shapes we have, that do this.

New at Rings & Things... Swarovski #5301 4mm crystal in colorchanging Alexandrite.  It is color #139.  Very cool!  Also, keep your eyes peeled for "Cantalope", expected in stock within a couple months, also in Swarovski crystal.

I would like to find out which of the Czech alexandrite beads you carry are made using Czech glass color #20210?  I have a customer looking for the kind of alexandrite beads that change from a bluish color to a purplish color depending on whether they are in natural light or florescent light.  Thank You!

Thank you!  That is exactly what she is looking for.  She also mentioned a color 8013 that is supposed to have some other change property from jonquil to?
