At 0.20 carats, this round alexandrite carries a depth of color rarely seen at this weight — a dark, dense blackish green-blue in daylight that gives almost no hint of what's coming, then turns over completely under incandescent light into a vivid, saturated purple. The shift isn't subtle or partial; it's a full changeover, the kind of dramatic reversal that alexandrite is famous for and that most small-carat stones simply don't deliver. Round brilliant faceting keeps the color locked in from every angle rather than letting it wash out at the edges. Malyshevo material this saturated, this compact, and this decisive in its change is not something you find twice.
