The 1.10 carat gem certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) guarantees a professional assessment of its quality, ensuring attributes like color change, clarity, cut, and carat weight are authenticated. Alexandrite's rarity combined with its distinct visual properties places it among the most sought-after gemstones in the colored gem market.
