The History and Charm of Alexandrite
Alexandrite is named after Russian Tsar Alexander II—because the Tsar discovered its unique color-changing feature at his birthday party. In sunlight, these gems display a charming emerald green hue, while under incandescent light, they transform into a fascinating reddish-purple, hence the name alexandrite. This color change phenomenon is due to the gem's composition, allowing it to absorb and reflect different light under varying lighting conditions.
