A lexandrite.                              215
The original Alexandrite came from the Emerald mine of Tokowoia, in the Ural mountains, but was found only in small quantities. The principal supply is now obtained from Ceylon, where, however, it is far from plentiful. The market value of this stone is extremely variable : and sometimes as much as £20 per carat is paid for a fine stone.
