Introducing a captivating gemstone masterpiece from The Natural Gemstone Company: a transparent 0.55 carat emerald cut green to purple alexandrite. This exquisite piece measures 5.60 x 3.61 x 2.68 mm and originates from the renowned mines of Russia, a location celebrated for producing some of the finest alexandrites in the world. This beautiful gemstone is a specimen with a long-standing legacy, both versatile and enchanting, as evidenced by its striking ability to change colors—a signature characteristic of the rare and valuable alexandrite. This stone shifts from a vivid green hue by daylight or fluorescent light to a stunning purple in incandescent lighting.
This gem’s appeal is further enhanced by its emerald cut, a technique that brings forth an elegant and timeless silhouette. The emerald cut is characterized by its step cuts along the pavilion and its prominent linear facets at the crown of the stone. This specific cut enhances the stone's color change properties by maximizing light reflection through its parallel facets, allowing the viewer to observe the alexandrite's breathtaking transition from green to purple seamlessly. The broad open facets enable an in-depth view into the heart of the alexandrite, offering a window into its profound medium intense color intensity, while subtly highlighting the structural beauty inherent in this igneous gemstone.
Despite its slightly included clarity grade, evaluated at eye level, this alexandrite remains an alluring choice for collectors and investors who appreciate its historic and geological significance. These inclusions can often give an insight into the fascinating process of the natural crystallization over millions of years, adding to the narrative and tangible authenticity of this gem. The excellent polish awarded to this alexandrite ensures that its surface is smooth and reflective, enhancing its vibrant luster while minimizing any deviations in its characteristic shine. The Natural Gemstone Company proudly offers this stunning alexandrite, ideal for those who seek a fine gem that not only tells the tale of its earthly origin but also promises enduring aesthetic pleasure and financial value.
