Alexandrite has been described by poets as “Emerald by day and Ruby by night”.
This is due to the color change that occurs in different kinds of lighting.

From green when exposed to florescent (daylight) to red in incandescent (spotlight).
Alexandrite is the color change variety of the mineral Chrysoberyl.

The mineral was named for Alexander II the 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.

Alexandrite receives no treatments to enhance its natural beauty.
It goes from the mine to the cutter to the retailer and then to you.

Alexandrite that displays a well defined cat’s eye is one of the rarest gems on earth.
Alexandrite is the Birthstone for June and shares this privilege with cultured pearls.

Cultured Pearls became a substitute for June’s birthstone
when Alexandrite became more rare and expensive.
