A misleading term for synthetic alexandrite-like sapphire, which changes color. Also called synthetic alexandrite.
<![CDATA[An alexandrine is also a line of poetic meter and very common in the German literature of the Baroque period and in French poetry of the early modern periods. There is some doubt as to the origin of the name; but most probably it is derived from a collection of Alexandrine romances.]]>
