Russian Alexandrites are rare and highly valued gemstone known for their unique color-changing properties. They belong to the chrysoberyl family of gemstones and are named after the Russian tsar, Alexander II, as they were first discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1830s during his reign.
What sets Russian Alexandrites apart is their remarkable ability to change color depending on the lighting conditions. In daylight or fluorescent light, they typically appear green or bluish-green. However, under incandescent light or candlelight, they exhibit a reddish-purple hue. This color change phenomenon is known as the "alexandrite effect" and is caused by the presence of chromium in the crystal structure of the gemstone.
Russian Alexandrites are highly prized by collectors and connoisseurs due to their rarity, exceptional color change, and historical significance.
