0.28 Ct. Alexandrite from Russia

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we are pleased to present a true marvel of nature, a transparent 0.28 carat pear-shaped alexandrite, exhibiting the rare and captivating green to purple color change. With dimensions of 5.15 x 3.27 x 2.47 mm, this gemstone’s allure is heightened by its mixed brilliant cut, promising exceptional brilliance and sparkle. The clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means any inclusions are subtle and do not detract from the stone's beauty. Its intense color intensity, combined with excellent polish, makes this alexandrite a superb choice for the discerning collector or jeweler who appreciates fine quality.

The significance of the stone's Russian origin cannot be understated. Alexandrite was first discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia, and stones from this region are highly esteemed for their distinct color-changing ability. This unique optical phenomenon is renowned among enthusiasts, as it symbolizes the rare and extraordinary nature of this gemstone. Russian alexandrites are often considered the standard by which all other alexandrites are judged. The stone transitions brilliantly from a lush green under daylight to a rich, purplish hue under incandescent light, adding an element of surprise and elegance to any jewelry piece it adorns. This characteristic not only defines the identity of alexandrite but provides an intrinsic value and exclusivity cherished by gemstone connoisseurs worldwide.

The unenhanced nature of our alexandrite further adds to its value. Many gemstones on the market undergo various enhancements to boost their visual appeal, but this natural alexandrite has retained its beauty from the earth. Such purity is increasingly sought after as buyers become more knowledgeable about gemstone treatments. The absence of enhancement assures that what you see is what nature intended, making it an authentic embodiment of Earth's geological wonders. Acquiring a naturally unenhanced Russian alexandrite is like owning a piece of history, a bridge to a bygone era where the earth was undisturbed and immaculate.

In summary, the 0.28 carat pear shape alexandrite from The Natural Gemstone Company is not merely a gemstone but an experience of historical and aesthetic significance. Its origin from the famed Ural Mountains, optimal clarity, and stunning color change are attributes that align with a connoisseur's pursuit of quality. This piece symbolizes nature's artistry, offering a natural treasure that will complement any exquisite jewelry collection. As a company dedicated to excellence, The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to offer such a distinctive and valuably authentic gemstone.
