CHRYSOBERYL.
The cymophane or true cat’s-eye, the hard specimens called oriental chrysolite by jewellers, and the alexandrite are varieties of chrysoberyl. Their differences of hue and of physical appearance are not associated with any essential differences of composition. The colours of chrysoberyl range from columbine red through brownish yellow to leaf green; a golden yellow and a greenish yellow are not unusual. The coloured chrysoberyls are strongly dichroic;* some brownish specimens from this cause may present to the unassisted eye the aspect of tourmalines. The leaf green, or deep olive green variety, known as alexandrite, of which fine flawless specimens of large size have been sent from Ceylon, is remarkable for appearing of a raspberry red hue by candle or lamplight. The hardness of chrysoberyl approaches that of the sapphire: it is 8·5. Its lustre and brilliancy are considerable. Its specific gravity averages 3·7; it is but slightly lowered by strong ignition.

A fine specimen from the Hope collection is in the British
