Alexandrite which display chatoyancy are cut en-cabochon and are called Cats-eyes . Beautiful cats-eye gems which are equally rare and command very high prices. It is basically a chrysoberyl, but the presence of chromium accounts for the spectacular colour change.

Alexandrites are named after Russian Tsar Alexander II (1818-1881), the very first crystals discovered in April 1834 near the Tokovaya River in the Urals, on the day the future tsar came of age. Although alexandrite is a relatively young gemstone, it is a fascinating gem since it shows both red and green.
