At 0.47 carats, this alexandrite doesn't apologize for its inclusions — it's a heavily saturated stone with a vivid, decisive color change, and that intensity is the whole point. A deep, vivid bluish-green in daylight gives way to a strong, saturated purple under incandescent light, the kind of full, high-contrast shift that defines top-tier Malyshevo material. Oval faceting keeps the color reading evenly across the face in both light sources. The inclusions are present and visible on close inspection, but they don't compete with the color performance — this is a stone bought for exactly what alexandrite is supposed to do, and it delivers.
