Alexandrite – Emerald By Day, Ruby By Night

If there is any gemstone that exudes royalty, it has to be the Alexandrite. No wonder it is popularly associated with longevity.

Here are some interesting facts about this amazing gemstone:


·          Alexandrite is a rare member of the Chrysoberyl family. In daylight, it exhibits a bluish-green or even emerald-green tinge, while under artificial light it appears reddish. The redness ranges from crimson to purple-red and violet-red. Many gemologists jokingly say that it is an emerald during the day and ruby in the evening.

·          Alexandrite was discovered on April, 17th, 1834 in an Emerald mine in Ural Mountains (Russia). The dense-green stone was originally mistaken for an emerald; however on closer inspection, it was found to be harder than an emerald, and when inspected under candle light, it exhibited a blood-red fire from within. This important discovery was made on the day the future Czar of Russia, Alexander II came of age. The stone was therefore named in his honor.

·          Alexandrite is a favorite among gamblers, as they believe that by wearing it, they can improve their odds of winning. (The color change capability of the stone emphasizes the change of fortune).

·          Alexandrite is known to make the wearer more calm, serene and peaceful. Therefore, it is a good talisman for people with anger management issues. 

·          Alexandrite can also improve circulation of blood, help in blood purification and strengthening of the various blood vessels. It also has very positive influences on the spleen and pancreas.   

·          Alexandrite’s are known to promote creative thinking and kindle the wearer’s imagination. It also has the quality of boosting the wearer’s intuition, which proves very beneficial in finding a way out from desperate situations.

A stem cell clinic touts its links with leading scientists said...

Column:: Legit stem cell experts in uproar over inclusion in film funded by suspect clinics
If there’s anything that drives legitimate stem cell scientists up a wall, it’s their being lumped in with clinics offering unwary customers supposedly effective disease treatments through stem cell injections.
Legitimate stem cell researchers find themselves lumped in with bogus clinics. So you can understand why a documentary series titled “The Healthcare Revolution,” which is partially funded by a network of clinics that are hawking unproven therapies and are under fire from the Food and Drug Administration, has created an uproar among academic researchers.
As many as a dozen legitimate scientists have demanded the removal of interviews with them featured in the documentaries. Several say they were misled into lending their credibility to a project that promotes treatments that are scientifically unproven and could be dangerous. They were led to believe that they would be participating in a project about legitimate scientific progress in the field, complete with sober cautions that much of this work is still in its infancy.
