Gorgeous Colour Change! Excellent Cut! Top fire!
Garnet members of the pyrope-spessartine solid-solution series can display several colors depending on the light source. The alexandrite-like color change from blue-green in daylight to red/purple in incandescent light is mainly caused by relatively high amounts of vanadium.
Although they look a lot like alexandrites they are different because they change color throughout the day. They are green or blue grey in the early morning and reddish in the late afternoon or in strong sunlight. Colour change garnets will appear red in the afternoon while the alexandrites remain green.
Most are grey blue or green in daylight and change to red under incandescent or late afternoon light. The stones can show an excellent color change and can easily be confused with alexandrite.
Looking with a jewelers loupe there is no significant damage such as abrasion/chips etc at all to any of the facets. It is classed as VS1 (eye clean). The colour, luster and cut are AAA++. This picture is of the gem on auction and the gem that you will get. The actual gem is much better than the photo's.
Bid with confidence. Just Jewels has an excellent positive rating over 4 years. I examine and weigh each gem before I put it on line and declare any flaws that may be seen - especially if they are not visible on the photo's. All Just Jewels gems come with a 100% refund guarentee if not satisfied. No hassles, no revenge ratings, no restocking fee.
