What Is Alexandrite?
Before we chat about all things rose, let’s have a quick refresher on this month’s birthstone, alexandrite! This mesmerizing gemstone is truly a sight to behold with its unique color-changing capability. Why does this happen? This is due to the stones' rare color changing variety of mineral, chrysoberyl! Because of this, alexandrites have acquired the nickname “an emerald by day, ruby by night”.
Speaking of appearance, alexandrites are a strongly pleochroic gemstone, meaning that it can show different colors when viewed from different angles. This phenomena is called “the alexandrite effect”! How cool is that?!
What Can Alexandrite Do For Me?
What can’t alexandrite do for you?! Known as the stone of rejuvenation, this birthstone will lift your spirits when you’re feeling down. Alexandrite's are a known energy booster and will help improve your mood when you rock a piece of alexandrite jewelry!
Lastly, good fortune, love and luck will be abundant in your life when you have alexandrite on hand! All of the good vibes will be present and each day will be filled with happiness and positivity.
What Is Rose?
Now let’s dive into all things rose! This birth flower is a known favorite among many as a symbol of love, which is spot on! Roses are a symbol of love, affection and beauty.
This birth flower can be found in quite a few places! While most roses are native to Asia, they also have origins linked to North America, Northwest Africa and Europe. Fun fact: in Colorado fossil evidence in the form of rose leaves suggests that plants in the rose family date back to 35 million years ago! How crazy is that?! In Ancient Roman times, roses were seen as a representation of death and rebirth, and were often planted on loved ones' graves.
What Can Rose Do For Me?
Just like alexandrites, roses are abundantly blessed with unique properties! For starters, we know that roses come in a variety of colors, but did you know that each color represents something different? Here is what each color represents:
- Red - “I love you”, symbolizes romance

- Yellow - happiness and cheer, although according to some, it is considered to represent jealousy
