Alexandrite cabochon with colorchange from the Alexandrite deposit of Lake Manyara in Tanzania. In daylight the Alexandrite is intense emerald green - much more intense than visible in the picture.

In weak artificial light, e.g. the light of a candle or a light bulb the color of the Alexandrite changes into a violet color.
