Alexandrite natural raw stone (under incandescent lamp)

This rugged shard of the Earth's first mountain, conceals a violet flame within its bronze-dusted skin! This raw Alexandrite under incandescent light looks like a piece of the Earth’s own heart—rugged and strong on the outside, but harboring a shifting, violet fire within. A raw (rough) stone is believed to carry the "unfiltered" and most potent energy of the Earth. Raw Alexandrite is a symbol of "the diamond in the rough." It is believed to help the wearer recognize their own untapped potential and inner beauty, even when they feel unrefined or "unfinished." In the rough, the "eye" or the internal light of the stone is harder to find. Meditating with a raw specimen is said to help unlock the "inner sight" and develop the patience required to find spiritual truth in a complex world. Just as the raw stone looks like an ordinary rock until the light hits it, it is believed to help the wearer move through the world with "protected invisibility," shielding them from unwanted attention or negative energies. The raw stone embodies the balance between the "hard/rugged" exterior and the "soft/shifting" interior light. It helps the wearer balance their own outer strength with their inner sensitivity. It is considered a gemstone of good fortune and luck and is also the birthstone for June.
