The Natural Gemstone Company is thrilled to present an exquisite transparent 0.38 carat pear-shaped alexandrite, a gem of exceptional rarity and unparalleled beauty. This magnificent stone originates from the fabled mines of Russia, where some of the world’s most coveted alexandrites are unearthed. Our sophisticated connoisseurs will appreciate the gem's remarkable clarity, graded as very very slightly included when assessed at eye level. This indicates that the stone displays only minimal inclusions, ensuring that its inherent beauty is not diminished but rather enhanced through its superb transparency.
The unique allure of alexandrite is found in its stunning color-changing ability, a phenomenon that few gemstones can boast. This particular stone exhibits a captivating green to purple color shift with medium light intensity, making it especially alluring to those with a discerning eye for extraordinary gems. In comparison to more common gemstones like sapphires or emeralds, alexandrite's dynamic color transformation adds an element of intrigue and mystique, as it transitions from a verdant green under daylight to an enchanting purple hue in incandescent light. This visual dance is the result of alexandrite's complex interplay with light, due to its rare chemical composition that can be thought of as nothing short of a geological marvel.
Craftsmanship plays a crucial role in maximizing the brilliance and vivacity of this gemstone, and our alexandrite exemplifies the art of masterful cutting. It features a mixed brilliant cut, a sophisticated design that enhances the stone's natural radiance by intricately reflecting light through its myriad facets. The pear shape further distinguishes this jewel, offering a modern elegance that complements both traditional and contemporary settings. Its cut has been perfected with an excellent polish, ensuring that each of its surfaces is flawlessly smooth and reflective. Every aspect of this alexandrite’s design has been meticulously crafted to highlight its intrinsic luminosity and charm.
Notably, The Natural Gemstone Company prides itself on offering only untreated stones, and this alexandrite is no exception; it has undergone no enhancements. This commitment underscores the value of its natural beauty, integrity, and authenticity, attributes that discerning collectors and buyers truly value.
