0.44 Ct. Alexandrite from Russia

This exceptionally rare transparent 0.44 carat pear shape alexandrite measures 5.34 by 4.11 by 3.00 millimeters, and carries a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation and depth. Originating from Russia, this gem displays a compelling greenish to yellowish hue with medium color intensity, and it is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement, qualities that together confirm the natural integrity and prestige of the piece. Offered exclusively through The Natural Gemstone Company, this alexandrite is not a mass produced item, it is a singular offering for a collector or client who seeks a stone with provenance, refinement, and true rarity in the world of fine gemstones.

In comparison to other gemstones in its category this Russian alexandrite stands apart for the way it controls and returns light. Alexandrite belongs to the chrysoberyl family which yields an adamantine luster and a crystalline brilliance that often appears crisper and more focused than the glow of emeralds, which tend to radiate a softer, oilier light due to inclusions. Against sapphires and spinels this stone is more lively in terms of facet contrast and scintillation because the mixed brilliant cut emphasizes flash and table reflections, producing sharper light play rather than the broader, velvety sheen of some corundums. The subtle greenish to yellowish color shift of this alexandrite interacts with light to create changing reflective impressions as you move it through different environments, a behavior that gives it emotional presence beyond static color. With such excellent polish and very very slight inclusions, the reflections remain clean and intense, offering a level of visual precision that few stones of this size and type can match.
