Alexandrit glass was eventually first made by Moser in Bohemia in the early 20th century. It was named after the dichroic mineral Alexandrite. It contains neodymium oxide, so it is also called Neodymium Glass The characteristic light purple / lilac color would have bluish / reddish / pink hues under artificial light Shiny and with great clarity extremely fine crystal It has an oval stamp at the base reading Moser in cursive This candlestick is one of a kind.
