Lee,

    I don't know why, but Stuller has a large inventory of genuine
    Alexandrites, and, of course, they are small stones because
    alexandrites are easily as rare as diamonds and possibly more so.
    Personally I don't know why Alexandrite has such value because it
    doesn't do much of a dance. Color change stones are intriguing but
    not overwhelming...ergo.... big deal ! Birthstones are such
    garbage....sure they enhance sales, but they also contiribute to
    superstious beliefs. Let's not contribute to superstitious belief
    just to make bucks ! Sell the stone on the basis of it's rarity,
    unique attributes, durability, beauty and provenance ! Enough of the
    foregoing hype ! Let's get honest with our ploy...let's make stuff
    that symbolizes the relationships that bond families....that is where
    jewelry comes from !!!!!!!
