Most people know the pearl as June's birthstone, however there is an alternate birthstone for June. It's called Alexandrite. A beautiful stone that comes in a variety of colours from pink to purple, blue, green, red and olive. It's most unique characteristic of changing colour from green to red when exposed to different light. Because of this quality, it has been characterized by poets as "an emerald by day, a ruby by night."

This rare gemstone is named after the Russian Tsar Alexander II (1818-1881), the very first crystals having been discovered in April 1834 in the emerald mines near the Tokovaya River in the Urals. It is a rare and expensive gemstone, symbolic of joy and good fortune.

God's creation is amazing. The very rocks we pull out from the earth declaring his majesty and multi-coloured personality. As unique as these gems are, so we are created unique with multi-coloured aspects to our personality, unique in our appearance and identity. Don't try to blend in with all the other 'rocks' out there, celebrate your uniqueness and glorify God for who you are!
