Round-cut alexandrite from Malyshevo is a genuine rarity — the vast majority of rough from this deposit gets shaped into ovals, pears, and cushions to preserve weight, and a true round like this one, even at 0.225 carats, is an uncommon sight. The color doesn't apologize for the small size either: a rich, saturated green-gray in daylight turning into a vivid, well-saturated purple under incandescent light, with good transparency letting both states read clearly. It's a small stone with an outsized presence — the round brilliant faceting throws light evenly across the face, and the color change carries real conviction for its scale.
