The photoluminescence of R-lines due to the (CrO_6)^<9-> center in alexandrite has been measured under pressures up to 15 GPa at room temperature and 77 K. The results show that the symmetry of the effective crystalline field, being orthorhombic at 1 atm, tends to become trigonal as pressure increases. To examine the influences of this symmetry change on the magnetic properties, the Zeeman spectrum has been measured under magnetic fields up to 15 T at 77 K. The Paschen-Back effect is found to develop under pressures near 8 GPa if the field is applied parallel to the b- and c-axes. This finding demonstrates that the character of the spins of the excited states involved in the R-lines changes as if it is transformed from the Heisenberg-type to the Ising-type. Some structural instability is suggested to occur above about 8 GPa at 77 K and about 11 GPa at room temperature.
