The degree of color change is perhaps the most prized aspect of Alexandrite, with stones showing a dramatic or near-complete shift between green in daylight and purple in incandescent light considered the best. However, even stones with a 60% or 75% color change can be visually striking and more affordable. For example, the Genuine Round Alexandrite Gemstones in Grade GEM (when available) boast a dramatic 100% color change, while the Round Cut Genuine Alexandrite in Grade AA offers a very good 75% change. This variety allows buyers to find the ideal balance between color change intensity and price.
