Pearls are unique because they are the only gems to come from a living sea creature and require no polishing to reveal their natural beauty. Pearls were a favorite gemstone of the Romans. Alexandrite is a birthstone, as well. It was found in Russia and named after Czar Alexander II, who was in power at the time of its discovery. It is extremely rare, and many jewelers stock synthetic versions to keep up with the demand. Moonstone also is considered a gem. It was given its name by a Roman historian who wrote that its appearance altered the phases of the moon. The gem is believed to hold a spirit who will bring good fortune.
