Alexandrite is a purple-green gemstone that changes it隆楼s color under different types of lighting. It is also known as thebirthstonefor the month of June, and is related to thezodiac signof Gemini.
Whether extracted from nature or createdin a lab, alexandrite engagement rings are a quick change artist, often noted as the 隆茫emerald by day, ruby by night隆脌 gemstone. When this gemstone was first discovered in Russia in 1834, it was mistaken for emerald. It wasn隆楼t until the light changed that the miners realized they had discovered an entirely new gemstone, and it was given the name 隆茫alexandrite隆脌 for the Russian Tsar Alexander II. Glistening under sunlight, alexandrite stones appear a vivacious teal-green color, but when paired with artificial or incandescent light, a deep purple or magenta color takes over. With such duality, alexandrite engagement rings are perfect for the free spirited soul.
