ALEXANDRITE
Alexandrite
is one of the jewels that can be used as a birthstone for June, the
others being pearl and moonstone. Alexandrite is a form of chrysoberyl,
which forms in the earth’s crust due to the action of magma. It’s unique
in that, unlike other chrysoberyls, Alexandrite contains not only
impurities of iron and titanium, but chromium, which is crucial to its
value. Pure chrysoberyl is clear and colorless or very pale yellow.
Alexandrite
has a hardness on the Mohs scale of 8.5, which means it’s the hardest
gemstone behind diamond and corundums like ruby and sapphire.
Alexandrite,
besides having a recent history is also quite rare. Its two
components, beryllium and chromium, don’t usually occur together in
nature.
One amazing thing about
Alexandrite is that it changes color. The gem is green or green blue in
natural daylight and then turns a dazzling red-violet or purplish red
when placed under artificial light. It can do this because of chromium.
Chromium absorbs yellow light with great efficiency. Only chrysoberyls
that can change their color this way can be called Alexandrite. Unlike
some other gems that seem to change color, the change in Alexandrite’s
color isn’t dependent on the angle at which the stone is viewed.
June
birthstone — Alexandrite is considered by astrologers to be a stone of
good luck and is supposed to sharpen the intuition and creativity of its
wearer
