Alexandrite is one of the most amazing stones. The main difference between alexandrite and other gemstones lies in its unique ability to change color depending on ambient light. Alexandrite has a bluish-green or grass-green colour when white fluorescent artificial lighting is used, but turns violet or ruby-purple in sunlight or candlelight.
Alexandrite was discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in 1830 and named after Czar Alexander II because its red and green colors matched the uniform of the Russian Imperial Guard.
Russian alexandrites are not mined today so we take existing alexandrite and recrystallise it into the fine quality we use today.
