I bought this mined alexandrite about a year ago. It’s super beautiful in person. It’s 0.86 carats and while it has inclusions and feathers, the color change in the stone is spectacular.

Day time it is a pale green to light pink
Dusk it is a deep blue to bright pink

I want to set this in a new piece of jewelry where it shines and is the highlight. I would really appreciate advice and thoughts from this community. Given it is small, I want to optimize seeing the color (change) and minimize any damage to it. I’m open to the type of jewelry (pendant, ring, bracelet, etc.) and I’m a dude.

About a year ago, I came here to ask about the geographic origins of a mined alexandrite. In retrospect, a bit of a silly question knowing what I know now but you all were very helpful. Here is a link to the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Gemstones/s/mLqnEEj64P
