0.32 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are moments in gem collecting when a single stone feels like an invitation into a private circle, and this is one of those moments. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this transparent alexandrite weighs 0.32 carat and has been masterfully fashioned into an elegant oval shape measuring 4.86 by 3.95 by 2.27 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes fire and scintillation. Its intense color intensity and excellent polish announce a quality of finish that is rarely seen at this size, and its lack of any enhancement confirms that what you see is entirely natural. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this piece carries the storied character of one of the world s most respected gem localities, a provenance that further elevates its desirability. For connoisseurs who seek stones with provenance and substance, this alexandrite is an opportunity to own a small but unmistakably refined example of nature s artistry.

What makes this alexandrite especially compelling is its dramatic color shift from a rich green in fluorescent and daylight conditions to a warm brown under incandescent lighting, a transition that feels like a private performance reserved for the wearer. The intense color intensity means that the change reads clearly and with depth, rather than simply hinting at different tones, and the mixed brilliant cut ensures each facet contributes to the gem s show. When set as a solitaire in a low profile mount the stone presents a poised and confident face, and when set as the center of a more elaborate creation it becomes a quietly insistent focal point that draws appreciation rather than demand attention. The stone photographs beautifully in controlled light and reads elegantly on the finger in everyday light, making it equally suitable for collectors who value wearable rarity and designers who seek an exceptional natural centerpiece.

The internal inclusions of this alexandrite are not flaws to be hidden, but unique identifiers that add to its character and story. Evaluated with a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the stone is remarkably clean to the naked eye, while under magnification it reveals delicate features that affirm its natural origin. You will notice minute pinpoint crystals and wisps that resemble silk, along with tiny feathery growth structures that trace the gem s internal history, each feature acting like a fingerprint that distinguishes this stone from every other alexandrite in existence. These internal markers scatter light in a way that contributes to the gem s lively scintillation, and they lend a sense of depth and soul that perfectly complements the stone s color change. Because there has been no enhancement applied, these inclusions are authentic signatures left by geological processes, and they become part of the narrative that makes this piece exceptional and irreplaceable.
