Alexandrite query
<![CDATA[Hi there
got a 5.01cts stone mounted on a ring. RI gave away as Alexandrite.
deep green in day light to strong reddish purple in artifical light.
Chelsea filter gave a strong red reaction . UV - LW moderate Red and
SW - chalky moderate yellowish Orange effect...
I am confused with the SW reaction !!!!!!!! Is this normal ??
Will a Natural Alexandrite show this reaction in SW??
Inclusions are hard to see but saw something like clouds lined up not
sure what it means... cant see any other growth structure coz. of the
mount.
Does the SW reaction seem strange for a natural alexandrite or its
high probability of a synthetic??
Any help would be appreciated
