Alexandrite, color change photo.

[soberguy]

As nice as I have ever seen. Close to correct. Bit more green, bit more red in real life but very close.

 

[minousbijoux]

Very nice! Both colorways are quite good. I hope its yours to keep.

 

[pregcurious]

Wow, that looks fantastic. Is it yours?

 

[soberguy]

Mine and I-phone pictures, only cropped. As most know getting the color to photograph perfectly is next to impossible in my experience.

 

[Marlow]

Wow - this is a color change!!!

Could you tell us the weight and orign??? And some more pics....

 

[LoversKites]

Ohh, I really love it.

Do you have a mixed light photo?

 

[Acinom]

Wow, what an amazing color change!

 

[diamondringlover]

Very nice, I do like a nice color changing Alex...I have one that does the same color change BUT mine is russian lab alexandrite..wished I could afford the real thing lol

They have a much better CC than the Tunduru alexandrite.

 

[derbygal]

Very pretty.

 

[minousbijoux]

Wow, I would've thought it was a Brazilian. SG: how would you describe the tone? Is it medium dark to dark as most alex seem to be? It doesn't look that dark in the photos, but then the lighting in the photos (particularly the daylight) looks quite bright.

 

[soberguy]

Bright indirect daylight in the first picture, 40 watt incandescent bulb in a lamp with a shade in the second picture.

So how would you describe the tone?

 

[Acinom]

Coming back hoping for more pics. Like a lot more!!!
Please do not take the title of your thread too serious

 

[soberguy]

Tone is deep? I think lol!

 

[eastjavaman]

Wow, look at that clarity and color change

 

[beats]

I have to register to PS just to say. it has an eye popping color change

 

[chrono]

Looks very nice; it's not easy to capture the colour change. Any direct/straight down views of the alexandrite?

 

[soberguy]

Best I could get mix light faced. Really just put up the pictures because it was unusual capturing the green phase.

I don't care for alexandrite, but at least yours seems to have close to a 100% color change. Enjoy it.

 

[minousbijoux]

It does seem to be dark in tone. Still that is for sure the nicest Tanzanian alex I have seen! Great colorways, excellent color change percentage and a large carat size for an alex of such quality. I would definitely get that puppy insured as whether or not you paid a lot for it, its worth a good sum!

 

[pregcurious]

That's a nice mixed light color.

 

[ElleK]

Stunning color change!

 

[soberguy]

Now, if only it were 30 carats!!! Lol!!
