'''Alexandrite''' is fabulously rare. While certainly not the strongest of materials, it lives in an aura of mystery unrivaled by any other mineral. Fine quality natural Alexandrite changes color under different types of light. In daylight it is a medium green to bluish green color and when illuminated by torchlight it will appear a violet-red color. The stronger the color change, the more expensive the sample and Alexandrite can be very expensive, indeed. It has a vitreous luster and ranges from transparent to translucent. Most weapons crafted in Alexandrite are more ornamental than functional.
Weapons and items crafted of '''alexandrite''' tends to be ornamental rather than functional due to its brittleness. Alexandrite is a fascinatingly beautiful material that changes appearance with the sort of light that illuminates it, appearing a blue-green color in the sun or a violet-red color in lamplight. It is also transparent, although some forms of alexandrite are more translucent.
