Alexandrite

Named after the later Tsar Alexander II, the alexandrite belongs to a variety of the chrysoberyl. It appears green in daylight and shimmers red in artificial light. A special rarity is the alexandrite cat’s eye, which mesmerises by creating a light effect of a cat’s eye.
The alexandrite was first found in the Urals in 1830, but today other deposits can be found in Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Brazil.
