| With Alexandrite and a few other gemstones, especially color shifting or color changing gemstones, it may be
difficult to obtain two accurate photos of the color shift/change. This is the case with these two particular Alexandrites.
The purple is easily obtained with a camera, but the blue green/teal is much more difficult. You have our description of the color
as well as the color description defined under the lights that GIA uses for Gem ID. We are in agreement that we see a blue green or teal
going to a purple - no other modifiers noted. |

| Natural Alexandrite, changing from a Greenish to a Purplish, large 0.88ct Oval. Very well priced
when compared to trade prices seen in Tucson 2023. This has inclusions as
this material frequently has, but the size, the color change and price attracted us as everyone wants a Natural
Alexandrite and this is below the prices that are out there for this material - and prices have increased dramatically
over the past several years. This has been certed by GIA, Natural Alexadrite, chaning from a Bluish Green to Grey-Purple - which
we feel is accurate depending on the lights. The green on this stone varies depending on the wavelengths/lights
available, as we have seen it a forest green to vivid green to bluish green; this can be a really fine green for Alexandrite
depending on where it is viewed!. The color rendition on the cert (pdf) is unimpressive and not that accurate as to what we
see, but this is usually the case on GIA Certs - color rendition is off and we frequently disagree with the actual color
description - but again, color is all light dependent and the wavelenghts available! We have sent gemstones/certs back to GIA
at times for them to look at the color again, and have received them back with a different color description and a much better
photo representing the gem in the report/cert... (tri-23-01) $9300 |

| A Brasilian Alexandrite Oval weighing 0.57cts and having a great green to bluish green color, turning
to various colors depending on the lights, but have seen a sort of green/blue/grey purple which is difficult to describe.
Of course, both colors will be vary depending on the type of lights and the wavelengths available. The photo showing the green color
is acccurate, but the other color had to be modified as the camera wasn't picking up what the eye was seeing. GIA described the color
change as Blue Green to Grey-Purple. For what this is and the current market on material which isn't as nice as this,
this is a good time to add this to your collection or jewelry if you have wanted a nice Natural Alexandrite. (ggc-19-03) $3,700 |

| 1.00ct Oval Natural GIA Certed Alexandrite - We were fortunate to find one Alexandrite that met our
criteria for inventory: Clean, Decent Cut, Sparkle, Eye Clean, Very Fine Color Change and an
Affordable Price! This changes from a Green/Bluish Green to a Purple as noted in the accompanying
GIA Cert. In ALL these years in the gemstone business, we have only had a handful of larger fine quality Alexandrite
such as this. Again, the 2017 Tucson Show had very dark (almost black) Alexandrite, very poorly cut or included material,
selling at high prices. Similar Alex to this newly acquired piece were non-existent and we wouldn't consider
obtaining that lower quality for our inventory; plus the pricing was incredibly high, making this Alex not only an outstanding example,
but also outstanding in price (way below the wholesale asking price of those we didn't look twice at).
Alexandrite is one of those gemstones that is difficult to obtain accurate color photos. We obtained a good
photo of the blue green, but decent photos of the purple were difficult. We've tried out best to be accurate in color as best as possible - one
can have an idea of the color description and change by viewing the GIA Cert also. As always, should you purchase this Alexandrite,
if you are not happy for any reason, you have our 100% Customer Satifaction Guarantee as well as our Lifetime Guarantee - see our 'Our Guarantees' link on the banner that
appears on the top and bottom of all our pages! Priced VERY attractively - like most of our gemstones, below
the wholesale as seen in Tucson - IF you can find such a fine piece. (strshn-17-01) SOLD! (Australia)

| Comments: Small photo above shows a line that may be visible to some customers. We currently do not have our GIA
microscope to determine what is it, but it doesn't affect the value or integrity of the gem, and the owner of All That Glitters
can't see it with 2.75x glasses. For those with 20/20 or better eyesight, this might be seen under the right lighting conditions
and angle. We did note that if the issue is on the right hand side of the gemstone when viewed, we can see it under magnification; if the gem
is rotated so that it is on the left hand side, we couldn't see it. (Magnification would be using glasses, a loupe, a microscope, camera or even
a phone when talking a macro photo or a video.) Alexandrite is a Type II gemstone, which means that it usually contains
some inclusions. This did not stop the purchase of this gem as it is the perfect size, a super color change, well cut for Alexandrite, well priced
and has everything going for it. Just wanted to bring this to the attention of the retail public as the trade would not give this a second thought -
we do hope to move most if not all of our Natural Alexandrite when we exhibit in Tucson once again, as the last time was in 1990! We are typically in
Tucson annually, and for those who would like to see certain gemstones in person, contact us prior to the show to set up an appointment for a viewing of your favorite
gems - they are ALWAYS better in person!

| Large Wonderful 1.65ct Cushion Shaped Natural Alexandrite - Great Color Change from Blue Green to Purple; eye clean,
well cut and exceedingly fine in every way compared to most Alexandrites seen on the market. This rare gemstone is not just over
the magic carat weight of 1ct, but it is even over 1.5cts! In Tucson over the past 7 years, we haven't see anything quite like this, as most
Alexs are poorly cut, shallow, weak color change (or one color is better than the other), high prices, etc.
Priced VERY attractively - like most of our gemstones, below
the wholesale as seen in Tucson - IF you can find such a fine piece. Prices for anything in Alexandrite right now in the trade are much
higher than in the past, but fine color and unenhanced gemstones like unheated corundum, have increased 30% in about a year; Alexandrite has
increased about 40% - and the material we are seeing on the market is overly dark and included. (btree-16b-01) $28,000

| Chrysoberyl Cat's Eye, 3.28ct - great size for jewelry, no blemishes, the exact color and sharp
centered eye that one wants in this gemstone! Note not only the sharp eye, but because there were other
lights available during photography, one can see a secondary line on the top. (left photo)
Milk/Honey affect clearly seen also. Just a wonderful example and the largest/finest Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl
we have had in inventory in over four decades! Below the wholesale price of the 2014 The Guide - as many of our
fine gemstones. (egaj-15-45) $8,200 |

| 11.09ct Chrysoberyl
Crystal from Ratnapura, Sri Lanka. Color is more of a yellow and it seems
as if one can probably facet a gemstone from this piece - but it is a nice
crystal with natural crystal faces on all surfaces. This displays half of
the flower like crystal structure one expects from Chrysoberyl, but it
probably grew next to another crystal and therefore didn't obtain the
expected crystal habit, but it does have half the expecte crystalization
and if one looks at it carefully, it is an entire crystal with all the
expected faces considering of where it had probably been growing. It is
difficult to get a good color rendition as well as to show the crystal
structure of this piece. (egaj-11-12) $625 |
