COLOR CHANGE: SAPPHIRE, GARNET, ALEXANDRITE

These are the rarest and most interesting gems we offer. Each fine faceted natural gem actually changes its color under different lighting conditions.  This amazing ability definitely puts these gems in a class of their own! We only have a limited selection due to the high demand for this type of gem.  What we list is actually available. Remember these are "all natural" gems - not some manmade concoction like they sell in the dept. stores.

Please see the descriptions and pictures for each to get an idea of the color change.  Gems are priced mainly on their color change quality.
