| Lower Value: This alexandrite gemstone is small (about .10 carat), they have poor clarity, and worst of all, their colors are not bright, but greyish. The best thing about this stone is the relatively strong color change. |
Medium Value: This alexandrite is large (1 ct.) and it has relatively good clarity and an okay cut. Its biggest detractor is the color: though it is bright, the change is from blue to purple - the two colors are not very different from each other. |
High Value: Here is an alexandrite gemstone that is about half the size as the previous stone and has poorer clarity, but the color change is more dramatic, making it more valuable. |
Highest Value: Most people will go their whole lives without ever seeing an alexandrite like this. It is about 3 carats, well cut, perfect clarity, with a dramatic and total color change from bright green to bright magenta. |
