Hidden beneath the earth’s surface millions of years ago, the enchanting alexandrite was born through incredible geological transformations. This gemstone, possessing a chameleonic beauty, was formed under specific conditions where beryllium and aluminum combined with traces of chromium in the mantle of the Earth. These elements came together amidst volcanic rocks, cooled and crystallized over millennia to birth this rare stone. Our exquisite pear-shaped alexandrite, sourced from the renowned gem-rich land of Russia, stands as a testament to this timeless creation. Its transition from a lush green to a rich purple under varying lighting harkens to an age of mysticism and natural splendor, much akin to the tales of transformation in folklore. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we’re honored to present this rare piece that not only carries the legacy of the Earth’s aloof artistry but also captivates the soul.
The alexandrite’s historical significance is as profound as its geological origins. Named after Russian Tsar Alexander II, this stone was first discovered in the Ural Mountains and quickly ascended as a favorite among Russian royalty and aristocracy. Its unique color-changing property was seen as symbolic of the duality and mystique of the Russian state itself. The remarkable green to purple variation, presented brilliantly here with medium color intensity, is not just visually mesmerizing—each facet tells a story steeped in imperial heritage and natural wonder. Treasure simplicity melds with complex beauty in this 0.17-carat gem with dimensions of 4.21 x 2.63 x 2.17 mm. Each mixed brilliant cut shimmers with an excellence in polish and clarity that echoes the diligent craftsmanship behind its presentation.
The journey of this stone, untouched by modern enhancements, from the depths of Russia to the spotlight of your adornment, is a narrative of natural grandeur and meticulous artistry. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we pride ourselves on bringing such historical treasures with unparalleled authenticity. This alexandrite, with its excellence in polish and very slightly included clarity grade, is more than a gem—it is a heritage artifact that promises to add ethereal beauty and legacy to any collection. Allow this breathtaking piece to be not just a part of your collection, but a cherished heirloom that speaks the language of history and elegance.
