Alexandrite
Alexandrite has been described by poets as "emerald by day and ruby by night" due to the show of color change from green, in fluorescent (day) light, to red, in incandescent (spot) light.
Alexandrite, the color change variety of the mineral, chrysoberyl, is named for Alexander II, Czar of Russia.
It was reportedly discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia on Alexander's birthday in 1830.
Today, Alexandrite is found primarily in Brazil, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, India, Russia and Africa.
This unique stone needs no treatments to enhance its natural beauty.
Alexandrite is the birthstone for the month of June and is designated for the 55th wedding anniversary.
