No reserve price - 1 pcs Green, Red, Brown Alexandrite - 0.45 ct - International Gemological Institute (IGI)

Alexandrite is a rare and fascinating variety of chrysoberyl notable for its remarkable color-change phenomenon, appearing green to bluish-green in daylight and shifting to red or purplish-red under incandescent light. This optical effect, caused by complex light absorption, makes alexandrite highly prized by collectors and gem enthusiasts. The 0.45-carat stone certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI) displays the classic tri-color range of green, red, and brown typical for some alexandrites, indicating complex internal chemistry. Originally discovered in Russia's Ural Mountains, alexandrite symbolizes balance and transformation, often commanding premium prices due to its scarcity and distinct visual appeal. Beyond its beauty, alexandrite's hardness and toughness make it a durable choice for various jewelry applications.
