Ural alexandrites remain unsurpassed in brightness and contrast of color transition from bluish-green in daylight to crimson or purple-red in artificial light. Some alexandrites have a “cat’s eye” effect – opalescence. Due to pronounced pleochronism, when light passes through faceted alexandrite, red or green highlights are formed in a certain direction. The form of occurrence of Ural alexandrite is also unique – in the form of V-shaped twins, especially tees. The “Alexandrite effect” is caused by the structural features of the mineral’s crystal lattice. The most common cuts for alexandrite are step or diamond teardrop. “Cat’s eye” is processed in the form of cashbon. After the discovery of alexandrite in the Urals in the 19th century, it was widely used in expensive jewelry, often together with diamonds, emeralds, and pearls. It is believed that alexandrite has a beneficial effect on hematopoiesis, helps cure vascular diseases, helps cleanse the blood, and normalizes blood pressure.

The horizontal directional crystallization (HDC) method, or crystallization in a moving temperature gradient, is used to grow a variety of crystals: YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) in white, blue, pink and other colors, ruby, chrysoberyl and the most promising for jewelry purposes, alexandrite. This method is similar to the Czochralski method, where the crystal is pulled vertically, but here it is pulled horizontally using a tungsten boat and the gradient method, where the boat is slowly pulled under a heating element. The time period depends on the size of the “boat” and the material being crystallized. In the case of alexandrite, the process speed is approximately 2 mm/hour. An average crystal, about 18 cm long, takes approximately 4 days to pull out. This method was developed by the Armenian scientist Professor Bagdosarov at the Institute of Crystallography of the Russian (formerly Soviet) Academy of Sciences in the 1970s and was widely used in the production of white YAG for space technology and underwater lighting, and later for simulating diamond. An industrial method for producing alexandrite using this method was developed by Tyrus’s research fellow, Vladimir Gurov, who also obtained results for growing other precious stones using this method, including chrysoberyl and ruby. Gurov, a leading scientist in this field, was awarded the honorary title “Man of the Century” for his discoveries. Today, humanity knows many precious and semi-precious stones and minerals.
