Gem Gardener: 9 8ct Cat's Eye Alexandrite 2

www.gemgardene...
Fine cat’s eye alexandrite ring weighing 9.8ct in 18k.
This cat’s eye alexandrite chrysoberyl is a unique light bluish green under daylight, warming to light purplish pink under incandescent light.
This alexandrite cat’s eye is from India, transparent and striking through its very light blue natural state, uncommon even for an alexandrite, cat’s eye or not.
Being transparent, everything in the stone is unveiled, but the special blue is suggestive hence mysterious.
The stone is considered to have significant clarity, and nothing bothersome in the way of its display.
The stone can be reset, if preferred, it resides in its open-backed vintage mount, an adapted cigar band with a swirl pattern.
This stone if removed is a great gem - it is riveting (but not surprising) such interesting stones come in a nondescript ring.
It is a challenge photographing and filming this stone - the capture is mild compared to its emotive showing, especially if you know about and have observed alexandrite cat’s eyes.
The stone measures 12.34 x 10.46 x 7.48 mm.
