Description

Gorgeous custom cut synthetic alexandrite -- NOT the cheapo corundum type but the real (though synthetic) chrysoberyl. Custom cushion cut. I am asking as much as I paid for the rough alone. It is a mauve-purplish color in most lighting, and there is a pronounced color change to greenish in diffused daylight that I can't get to show up on my camera at all. Does not go dark. Has some grey in it, as I think is common with alexandrite whether natural or synthetic. The cut is wonderful. This stone would be great if you love precision cut and have wanted to experiment with color-change stones without putting down $$$ for the natural type. I am letting it go because I have too many stones and not enough money to set them all.

Note that the first pic is the vendor glamour shot to show off the awesome (and it really is awesome) faceting; my pictures are much more indicative of what it looks like in real life. Unfortunately I cannot get my camera to show the greenish change in shaded outdoor light, but I promise it is there!
