Chrysoberyl var. Alexandrite Masvingo (Fort Victoria), Masvingo District, Zimbabwe 1.61cm x 1cm x .93cm 9.5 cts

Description/Interesting Notes: A terrific example of this famed gem species from Zimbabwe!!! This specimen consists of a complex group of intergrown alexandrite crystals in association with a small amount of schist matrix!!! The crystals have marked luster and significant translucent clarity!!! Please note that although this specimen shows up as an intense purple color in the pictures - this specimen is a VERY different color in person!!! For some reason, digital cameras have great difficulty capturing the color of alexandrite crystals!!! In person this specimen shows a deep green in sunlight and full spectrum fluorescent lighting and exhibits light lavender-gray color under incandescent lighting!!! Unfortunately there was no way to capture the green color in the pictures, however the green color change is quite significant in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
