The color change is so STRONG that it can be easily observed not only in candlelight but in any incandescent light like any yellow low-watt electric lamp's light. The alexandrite has one inclusion coming to the surface. It certainly does not affect the durability and overall beauty of the gemstone. Gemologists consider such mineral inclusions to be proof of the natural origin of alexandrite.Below are the quotes from GIA expert:"Alexandrite is a Type II (GIA Clarity Grading System) stone, and even the best natural alexandrite, unlike lab-grown alexandrite, is expected to contain many inclusions." "An alexandrite of good clarity may display a less prominent color change because the silky inclusions of rutile often enhance the change. Some people prefer a weaker color change in favor of better clarity, but the color change should be the most important factor in determining the stone's value."
