## Gemology

Gemstone Information

* It is said that the stone was named after the Russian emperor, Alexander II (1818 - 1881), but was discovered by a French mineralist called Nils Gustaf Nordenskiöld (1792 - 1866).
	+ When Nordenskiöld first discovered alexandrite in 1834, it was initially thought to be an emerald because it was discovered in emerald mines located in Russia's Ural region, near the Tokovaya River. The specimen was later identified as a chromium bearing, a color-change variety of chrysoberyl.
	+ Legends claim that the discovery of alexandrite was made on the very day the future emperor of Russia became of age. Inevitably, the red and green color change stone was to be declared the official gemstone of the Russian Empire.
* Alexandrite is one of the rarest of all colored gemstones available today.
	+ More specifically, it is an extremely rare color change variety of chrysoberyl (a cyclosilicate).
		- Despite its name, chrysoberyl, which is an aluminate of beryllium, does not actually belong to the beryl mineral group, but rather, it is classified as its own independent mineral group.
* Alexandrite is the birthstone for June and is the zodiacal sign for Gemini.
	+ Alexandrite is also used to commemorate the fifty-fifth wedding anniversary.
* Alexandrite is a stone associated with discipline and self-control, which adequately explains Alexandrite's stoic personality.
* The color change phenomenon seen in alexandrite is referred to as the 'alexandrite effect'. The change in color can be observed under certain lighting conditions, typically under daylight and incandescent lighting.
	+ The Alexandrite gemstone is green when in the presence of light composed mainly of greens and blues (e.g. natural light) and red in the presence of light composed mostly of reds and yellows (e.g. incandescent light), and purple when shown under both sources of light.
	+ Alexandrite can also display a cat's eye effect; and this rare trait can make an alexandrite stone even more valuable.
