There is NOT a lot more I can add, other than my comments on the website. Unless I can see an item and test it, I can only give general rules. You need to see a professional gemologist and get a full lab report done. Only then will you really know what it is, and can stop guessing. Hope this helps. Please let us know how you get on. Kind regards, David G’day Kadi and many thanks for your feedback which is much appreciated.

It is quite large (5+ carats) My father acquired it in the 30's. What is the probability of it being real? I haven't ever read about any real alexandrite stones turning more purple than raspberry and more aqua than green. Thanks for any information you can pass on.
