Medium dark green blue or blue green in daylight (fluorescent) and medium reddish purple under incandescent light, the color change is exceptional! The cutting, polish, and proportions are good and the stone is slightly included. A complimentary AIGS mini certificate is included with the purchase of this stone. Alexandrites that change this well are nearly impossible to find.
