Alexandrite is a miracle of gemological science. Since its discovery in 1834, alexandrite has held the world’s attention for its unusual trait of changing color. This startling stone appears blue in the daylight and turns a purple hue under different lighting. The extreme scarcity of this gem, combined with its changing powers, makes it one of the most coveted stones in the jewelry world. In terms of rarity, alexandrite may well outrank nearly all other known gemstones.
