Stones above $5,000 are sold by arrangement rather than through the basket. Above that value no ordinary courier will both carry and insure a loose stone, so carriage goes through a specialist service and is quoted for your destination — and settlement is by bank transfer, which keeps the card fee off a sum this size.

About this stone

Alexandrite is priced on the completeness of its colour change before anything else, and under a carat the good ones are already difficult. This stone reads a clear bluish green in daylight and goes to a raspberry purple-red under incandescent, with an estimated 80% change and no muddiness in between.

From Hematita in Minas Gerais, called by GIA. Slightly included under 10×; the inclusions do not disturb the face-up appearance in either light.

Photographed in both lights — see the gallery. Any alexandrite photographed in only one light is telling you half a story.

How big it actually is

ANY BANK CARD
The stone’s 6.1 × 5.2mm outline, drawn to the same scale as a bank card. Hold one against the screen and the stone beside it is life size — if the card does not match, zoom until it does. The outline is the idealised shape rather than this stone’s own profile; the photographs are the stone.
