Alexandrite is one of the three birthstones for June, known for its striking ability to change color from green in daylight to reddish-purple in incandescent light. This phenomenon, called the alexandrite effect, is due to its unique chemical composition. This color-changing property is a powerful symbol of duality and the harmonious balance between emotions and aspirations as well as transformation, good fortune, and creativity. Discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia, it is named after Tsar Alexander II and is a rare, valuable gemstone. Our “Alexandrite” is a blend of apple, sage, lemon & warm vanilla sugar.
