Metaphysical Properties Of Alexandrite

Some think that a necklace made of alexandrite could give the wearer more confidence.


Alexandrite is a lovely gemstone that changes color according to the light. Named after the Russian Tsar Alexander II, the stone was discovered in 1834 and is more difficult to find than diamonds. Among the metaphysical properties associated with Alexandrite is the power to improve the communication skills of the wearer.


Dual Nature


The alexandrite is either green or red, depending on the light. Because of this, the metaphysical properties of the gem are believed to be dual in nature. That is, sometimes the stone is lucky, sometimes the opposite. Conversely, the dual nature of the stone can be seen as a positive, meaning alexandrite can bring a yin yang balance into the life of the wearer.


Improves Communication








The stone is associated with the planet Mercury, which is the planet of communication. Alexandrite could be worn as a necklace to amplify the powers of the throat chakra and improve the wearer's ability to be heard. Public speakers looking for an extra shot of confidence might be attracted to alexandrite jewelry.


Healing Dreams


Dreams had while wearing alexandrite are said to be especially meaningful. If the wearer dreams that he or she finds alexandrite, it is thought to be a sign that the dreamer is facing struggles associated with progress.


Association with Mercury


Alexandrite is connected to Mercury, which is the planet of communication, and also of healing. For this reason not only can the stone can be used to enhance communication skills, but to focus on some health concern. Since Mercury governs the mind and nervous system, Alexandrite is also effective in helping the wearer to clear the mind of stress and be less susceptible to its physical manifestations.


Improving Confidence


Meditating with this gem can help the wearer become more clearly focused on goals. Alexandrite also is thought to help the wearer gain the confidence to make decisions, and move forward on those decisions. A trinket featuring an alexandrite could be the boost a person needs to take risks.
