0.25 Ct. Alexandrite from Russia

One beautiful transparent 0.25 carat pear shape alexandrite, measuring 4.19 x 3.49 x 2.46 mm, exhibits a subtle yet noteworthy color shift from greenish to pinkish tones, a defining characteristic of fine alexandrite. The stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style, designed to maximize light return and preserve the integrity of the pear outline. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, providing a clean visual appearance for everyday wear while retaining natural internal characteristics that confirm its natural origin. Color intensity is described as light, and the surface finish is of excellent polish, resulting in crisp facet junctions and an even, reflective surface. This alexandrite is free of enhancements, and its Russian origin contributes to its gemological pedigree, reflecting a recognized source for classic alexandrite material.

The Natural Gemstone Company is committed to ethical sourcing, and this alexandrite is offered within that framework, with due regard for responsible mining practices, traceability, and fair treatment of those in the supply chain. The combination of natural, unenhanced material and documented origin supports a conscious consumer approach, allowing collectors to prioritize stones that align with environmental and social values. At 0.25 carat and with precise dimensions, the gem integrates well into understated engagement pieces, fine jewelry with minimalist settings, or curated collections that emphasize natural optical phenomena and provenance. Its modest size and mixed brilliant cut make it suitable for paired settings, accent stones, or a focused solitaire design that highlights the color change, while the excellent polish and very slight inclusions ensure a balance between visual appeal and authenticity. For collectors or designers who value traceable origins, minimal intervention, and meticulous lapidary work, this Russian alexandrite represents a considered choice that complements a conscious jewelry collection, aligning gem quality with ethical standards upheld by The Natural Gemstone Company.
