Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely exceptional example of alexandrite from Brazil!!! This specimen hosts a complete and pristine sixling crystal of
alexandrite prominently perched on a schist matrix!!! The crystal is sharp, lustrous, and measures over 3.1cm!!! With a bit of
backlighting, one can see that this crystal actually has some appreciable clarity (its darkness is only being caused by the matrix)!!!
Using incandescent lighting, the crystal shows purple coloration and with sunlight or full-spectrum fluorescent the crystal shows green coloration!!! The
color change is dramatic and pronounced!!! The crystal could easily be further excavated from the schist matrix
(which would dramatically increase its clarity) if one so desired!!! The crystal is complete and pristine with no damage whatsoever!!! This is an exceptional and
valuable specimen!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Don't miss out on this rare opportunity!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JANUARY 20th!!!
