Alexandrite

Science & Origin

Alexandrite, first discovered in 1830 during the 19th century, is a rare variety of Chrysoberyl composed of Beryllium, Aluminum, and Oxygen with trace Chromium responsible for its color change. It crystallizes in the Orthorhombic system and forms prismatic crystals that exhibit a vitreous luster. Alexandrite’s unique optical property allows it to shift from green in daylight to red or purplish-red under incandescent light. This phenomenon, caused by pleochroism, reflects its dual energetic nature. Its internal structure of tightly bound Chrysoberyl molecules allows selective light absorption, revealing transformation through light. Alexandrite’s name honors Tsar Alexander II, representing nobility and balance of opposites. Its color shift symbolizes integration of intuition and logic, heart and mind. It embodies alignment through adaptability, revealing harmony within contrast. Alexandrite is a gemstone of equilibrium—teaching grace through transformation and awareness through light.
