To Alexandrite possibly a June Birthday present? Alexandrite is securely set in a 14k gold prong setting. In white light the stone has an interchanging deep purple and blue color. Under yellow light the stone takes on a pink hue. Here are some Alexandrite Fun Facts.

In order for Alexandrite to form in nature on its own, chromium must combine with beryllium and aluminum. Chromium in itself is a rare element. True Alexandrites are difficult to come by making them very valuable and rare. So rare, in fact, natural Alexandrite is rarer than Diamonds and costlier than Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire. Alexandrite appears to be a blueish-green in natural sunlight and shows up reddish-purple when under artificial light.

Not only does Alexandrite change colors, but in extremely rare cases it can also exhibit. Alexandrite is the birthstone for June is the gemstone that represents the 55th wedding anniversary. The gemstone is considered to bring love, good luck and fortune. Since it is considered to be a gemstone that promotes romance, it is used in engagement rings. An 8.5 on Mohs' hardness scale, Alexandrites are hard, tough, and durable enough for daily wear. Metaphysicians say Alexandrite crystals may be used to help one return to the origin of time and to connect with the beginning of ones development. Info obtained from Burkes Fine Jewelers.
