I’ve had somewhat of a rough day.  I’m so tired that I can’t even sleep.  I need a happy thought.  Alexandrite has always been that for me.  To me, it is the metaphor for a perfect relationship. 

• It’s strong.
•  It’s unique. 
• It’s beautiful to look at.
• Two minerals share equal face time.  They don’t fight, they don’t try to outshine each other.  They both bring their unique qualities.

I know, it’s just a gemstone, but it’s the coolest one out there.

I’m feeling like the David Letterman of gemology today, so I thought that I would post the top five reasons why you should switch your birthstone to alexandrite.

1. Alexandrite is many times more rare than a diamond. The supply of alexandrite is rapidly diminishing. This means that anything that you buy will probably go up in value. So you don’t just want this, you need this, it’s an investment.  A very pretty, very sparkly, investment.
2. Drastic color change, from green to red.
3. Used in antique jewelry, even as engagement rings.  Alexandrite immediately lends a classic air to any jewelry piece.
4. Named after the Russian Czar Alexander II, how many gemstones can say that?
5. 8.5 on the Moh’s hardness scale, so it’s quite durable.

So there you have it, if you aren’t born in June, start lying about your birthday so that you can have the coolest birthstone ever. I know that I sure will.

Thank goodness that May is finally over.  I was trying to be a shopping trooper, but it was really difficult to find deals on emeralds, although I did come up with some pretty good ones.  Now, it’s finally June, which is one of my favorite months because the birthstones are both pearls & alexandrite.  If you’ve ever been to this website before, or talked to me before, then you know what a huge fan of alexandrite I am.  I especially love the bands posted above because they would make awesome wedding bands, either in addition to a diamond engagement ring, or with an alexandrite engagement ring.  I especially like how the stones go all the way around the band.  Most people have never heard, or seen alexandrite, which is a shame because it is pretty much the coolest gemstone known to mankind.  (It changes color, how neato is that?)  Of course, it’s extremely rare & expensive, so I wanted to see just how many great alexandrite finds that I could happen upon this month because I’m Sara & I always do the impossible.  If any June babies would like to trade birthdays, please let me know.
