Advantages and uniqueness of alexandrite stone

The history of the name of the stone alexandrite dates back to the 1800s. It was then that the future Tsar Alexander the Second, a day after majority, was presented with the first cut nugget, which was found in the Urals. In fact, in honor of the monarch and named this precious stone. Since then and until today, he does not know equal in value to other nuggets and is rightly considered the most expensive. For a long time it was mined exclusively in Russia, but then it was discovered in other continents, for example, in Brazil. It should be noted that regional mining forms completely different characteristics of the gem.
