Alexandrite
Alexandrite is a rare variety of Chrysoberyl. Alexandrite was discovered near
Ekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains in Russia in 1830, and was named after Alexander
II. Other sources now include Sri Lanka, Burma, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Madagascar
and North America. The important feature of Alexandrite which makes it highly
unusual and collectable amongst gemstones is its strong color change when viewed
in different lights. Many other stones show a similar property, but nowhere
as strongly, and not with such highly contrasting colors.
