where to sell alexandrite in India Dec 24 2006,8:12 PM
The main colored stone market in India is in Jaipur and that might be a good place to wholesale your stones. You could also try to find a private buyer.

what is my alexandrite worth Dec 24 2006,9:12 PM
Alexandrites that large would very rarely be cut as rounds so I suspect that your stone is a synthetic or a lab grown stone. If you want to know for sure, send the stone to a qualified and experienced gemologist. A fine quality natural stone that size would wholesale for between $3000 to $12,000/ct. Lab grown or synthetic stones don’t have any resale value except for the value of the gold in the ring.

colors and hardness of alexandrite Dec 24 2006,9:12 PM
Alexandrites are normally green, yellow green, brownish green, or bluish green in daylight and red, pinkish red, brownish red, purple, or purple red under incandescent light. The hardness of alexandrite irrespective of color is always 8.5 on the Moh's scale.
