A tiny oval at 0.245 carats, this Malyshevo stone punches above its weight on transparency — light moves through cleanly in both color states, with none of the murk that can mute smaller alexandrite. Daylight shows a light, cool bluish green; under incandescent light it shifts into a bright, clean purple with real clarity behind it. It's the kind of stone that proves clean material doesn't require size — a legible, honest change in a package small enough for a delicate setting.
