Often described by gem aficionados asEmerald by day, ruby by night, alexandrite is well known for displaying one of the most remarkable color changes in the gem world green in sunlight and red in incandescent light. However, the modern June birthstone is so rare and expensive few people have seen a natural alexandrite. This variety of gem-quality chrysoberyl makes an excellent jewelry stone (if you can acquire one). Alexandrite is the very rare color-change variety of the mineral chrysoberyl. Originally discovered in Russias Ural Mountains in the 1830s, its now found in Sri Lanka, East Africa, and Brazil, but fine material is exceptionally rare and valuable.
Alexandrites have two primary value drivers. First, the closer the colors to pure green and red, the higher the value. Second, the more distinct the color change, the higher the value. Alexandrites can exhibit everything from 100% to just 5% color change. Thus, the most valuable gems would have a 100% color shift from pure green to pure red.
