A smooth cabochon cut helps reveal this effect, which becomes more noticeable under a focused light source as the stone or light moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAlexandrite’s color change is observed by comparing daylight with incandescent lighting. The combination of color change and a cat’s eye makes this an unusual gemstone to explore. Its exact hues, the strength of the change, and the visibility of the eye depend on the lighting and viewing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFor a closer look before purchasing, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sapphirepal.com\/pages\/contact-sapphire-pal-australia\" style=\"color:#4c5929; text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eask us for additional photos or a video under different lighting\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2 style=\"color:#4c5929;\"\u003eIdeas for Your Own Jewelry Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eConsider this \u003cstrong\u003eloose oval alexandrite cat’s eye for a custom ring or pendant\u003c\/strong\u003e.
