0.50 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a secret light captured within this little oval heart, a half carat of wonder that shifts like a summer evening, green to brownish yellow, ever changing as day melts into night. This transparent alexandrite weighs 0.50 carat, shaped in a delicate oval whose dimensions are 5.14 by 4.00 by 2.88 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut answers the light with a soft, lively fire. When you hold it close you will see how each facet plays with color, how the stone offers a glance of moss green in one moment, then a warm amber whisper in the next, a natural performance that feels like a private poem written in light. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this piece as more than a gem, it is a memory in the making, a tiny world captured beneath a mirror of polish that has been brought to an excellent finish, so that every turn reveals a new syllable of color and shine.

Up close you will notice the gem carries the honest marks of nature, a clarity that is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which lends intimacy and character rather than distraction. The inclusions are private signatures from the earth, gentle reminders of the journey this alexandrite has travelled, and they sit quietly beneath the surface as companions to its graceful play of hue. Its color intensity reads as medium light, a subtle but undeniable presence that will harmonize with both the bold and the demure in jewelry design. There has been no enhancement to alter its story, no treatments to change its voice, so what you receive is the true expression of the stone as it arrived from its birthplace. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes both scintillation and depth, allowing the stone to dance on a ring, pendant, or pair of bezel set earrings, whispering of romance with every movement.

The origin of this alexandrite in Ceylon, Sri Lanka lifts its tale into a richer chapter, because Ceylon is a place where legends and geology meet, where centuries of skilled hands have turned rough pebbles into treasures and where the soil yields gems with stories woven into their atoms. Ceylon has long been celebrated for producing stones with clarity and color that collectors and lovers of beauty seek out, and provenance from these famed alluvial deposits adds an intangible value that goes beyond carat and cut. To own a gem from Sri Lanka is to hold a fragment of a landscape shaped by monsoon and mountain, an echo of artisans who have cut and polished for generations, and a lineage that connects your present moment to an older craft. The particular green to brownish yellow color change here is a testament to the subtle variations of trace elements and to the unique conditions of formation that Ceylon offers, making this alexandrite not only a rarity but a small natural miracle, favored by those who understand that where a stone comes from becomes part of its poetry.

Imagine this oval alexandrite set into a delicate ring that rests against the skin and catches sunlight as you move, or nestled into a pendant that hangs close to the heart and tells its shifting story at every glance. With dimensions that are graceful and wearable, and an excellent polish that makes each facet sing, this gem is ready to become an heirloom, a promise, a quiet companion for a lifetime.
