"I love the large size the floursence that the stone emits when checked out by my gemologist. Once again he could not believe the price. When he said it would be a bargain if I paid less than $125 a carat.......I paid less than that for the whole stone. Plus the stone was a much more carat weight than listed for."

"This is almost beyond discription. You can not go by the pictures on the computer, or the imagages in the T.V., This stone is MYSTIC !!!!! This sun light reflects a unique, royal, green, beyond emerald, beyond chrome diopside, it is a green all to it's self. Then watch what it does when the evening starts to desend, IT CHANGES TO SOMETHING THAT SURPASSES RUBY. And the colors inbetween, all I can testify to is that you will NOT be able to take your eyes off of it. I had bought two, one to make a pendent, one to make a ring. I have desided to make earrings out of these, and buy two, L5E006, a 7.90ct. min. to make the pendent and ring, and if they had larger emerald cuts, I'd be getting them. my advise, BUY< BUY< BUY !!!!! and it does'nt hurt that they are clearence priced!"

Alexandrite is a highly prized variety of chrysoberyl. Alexandrite only forms when aluminum/beryllium and chrome (which rarely occurs in nature) come together, accounting for its rarity. On Mohs’ scale of hardness, alexandrite is 8.5. It has a strong vitreous luster and primary sources include Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and Brazil (Minas Gerais).
Color
Alexandrite is typically found in blue, blue-green, and brownish-green shades. However, this phenomenal gem is known as "emerald by day, ruby by night" because of its ability to change color, depending on the type of light in which it's viewed. In the daylight and fluorescent light, alexandrite appears in shades of blue and green, but in tungsten (incandescent) light, it appears in shades of red. Other alexandrite color changes are possible (from blue to purple, from greenish blue to reddish blue, from brownish-green to brownish-red, etc.) and also highly prized.
