Tsarstone collectors guide

Certified Strong Change Alexandrite 26.75cts

Bluish green in daylight and purple red under incandescent light, the color change is exceptionally strong and attractive. The change apparent without even changing the lights. Alexandrites this large are extremely rare and this is a special stone. Although the clarity is not that good, this is a stone with character and I would keep it if I could. An antique setting might be the best way to set this stone. The cutting and proportions are good.
