Alexandrite Mineral & Gemstone Information
Alexandrite is a type of chrysoberyl, along with cat’s eye. Chrysoberyl consists of beryllium aluminum oxide and is a very hard stone.
The distinctive feature of Alexandrite is that it changes color depending on whether it is viewed through artificial or natural light. Alexandrite will be green to bluish-green in daylight and red to purple indoors, and it is commonly described as “an emerald by day and a ruby by night”.
It is also pleochroic–meaning it has different colors when observed with different angles.
Alexandrite was discovered in Russia and named after the Russian Tsar Alexander II in the 1830s. Since then it has also been found in Brazil and other places around the world, but it remains rare and expensive.
