QUOTE (in "Why do you love alexandrite?" by Cartier on Oct 08 2009, 05:41 PM)The reason of loving Alexandrite is its twin nature for one thing it is different and for other it is differentFor me, it is due to the incredible rarity and value. I cannot think of a gem that comes close to the magical properties alexandrite possesses. It is unrivaled by all. I hope that one day ill have a 2 ct in a nice gold ring :-)
