Hi all,
I'm contemplating buying a small (under .2ct) alexandrite from a well known vendor on these boards (multicoulor). It's small but mighty, which I love. As with Alex in general, it's expensive for the size (in the 500-1000 range). That said, is it worth paying the extra $100 to get it certified? And if so, is GIA sufficient or would folks go with AIGS?
I've never bought natural Alex before so this is new to me.
Thanks!
