Like all Alexandrite, this stone does change color depending on the lighting, and it's not always subtle about it either. So be warned if you are buying this to match an outfit or something, or because you are in love with the purple in the picture. Sure, sometimes it will look that color, but sometimes it will be the color of garnet, or blue, or green, or somewhere in between.

A beautiful setting, and an amazing stone! And I always endorse buying from Peora, they are extremely motivated toward making you happy with a purchase.
