0.61 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

This transparent 0.61 carat oval alexandrite measures 6.20 x 4.50 x 3.01 mm, and it displays a striking green to purplish red color change that defines the variety, I am presenting this gem with a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation and color saturation, clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, color intensity is vivid, polish is excellent, enhancement is none, and origin is Brazil. For the educated buyer these specifications matter considerably, the mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize light return while preserving the depth of tone that produces the classic alexandrite color change, the very slightly included clarity grade indicates minor internal features that do not detract from the gem under normal viewing, the lack of any enhancement confirms that the color and appearance are wholly natural, and the vivid color intensity combined with the color change effect enhances both aesthetic appeal and market desirability. Alexendrite owes its color change to trace chromium and occasionally vanadium, and this chemical signature, together with Brazilian geological provenance, supports both the gemological character and the rarity premium associated with fine color change specimens. The measurements and the 0.61 carat weight make this stone a versatile choice for a refined ring or pendant, and the excellent polish ensures it will display lively reflections and a clean table face, attributes that collectors and connoisseurs consider when evaluating potential long term value.

The journey of this alexandrite from mine to market is both transparent and traceable, our sourcing began in a responsible Brazilian deposit where local miners extracted rough crystals under regulated conditions, the rough was then selected for gem quality and transported to an experienced cutter who optimized the oval proportions and mixed brilliant faceting to enhance the color change between daylight and incandescent conditions. At each stage The Natural Gemstone Company applied rigorous quality control, the stone underwent detailed visual inspection under standardized lighting to confirm the vivid color change and to assess inclusion impact at eye level, exact dimensions and weight were recorded, and the no enhancement statement was validated by the absence of heat or diffusion treatments. The result is a naturally formed, skillfully finished alexandrite that is ready for a discerning setting, this gem represents a combination of geological rarity, human craftsmanship, and ethical sourcing, attributes that make it appealing to collectors, fine jewelers, and buyers seeking an investment quality color change stone.
