0.62 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

This classic Brazilian alexandrite is a superb example for the discerning collector, weighing 0.62 carat and fashioned into an elegant oval measuring 6.78 by 4.82 by 2.61 mm, finished with a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation and color change. The stone displays a true alexandrite effect, shifting from a greenish hue in daylight to a warm reddish tone under incandescent light, with a vivid color intensity that remains saturated in both lighting conditions. Clarity is graded very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minute and do not interfere with face up appearance or the gemological integrity, effectively equivalent to trade VVS standards. The polish is excellent, with crisp facet junctions and a smooth girdle that enhance light return and the perceptible depth of color. Importantly this piece is natural and untreated, no enhancement, and is of Brazilian origin, a source known for producing alexandrites with strong color change and good clarity, qualities that appeal to both collectors and connoisseurs.

For the educated buyer this alexandrite represents a rare combination of attributes that justify its place in a high end gemstone collection. Natural color change stones of vivid intensity and very very slight inclusions are inherently scarce, and the absence of enhancement preserves both market value and scientific interest. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize both brilliance and the color shift that defines alexandrite, making this gem equally suited to a refined solitaire ring or a pendant designed to show color under varied lighting. From an investment perspective, stones with documented origin, excellent polish, and minimal inclusions are more likely to retain or appreciate in value, particularly when accompanied by independent certification. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind this alexandrite with careful documentation and detailed imaging to support provenance and quality claims. For care, avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and consider a protective setting for everyday wear. Offered as a single, transparent, untreated alexandrite of exemplary color and finish, this gem is an ideal addition to a high end collection, delivering both aesthetic allure and the confidence of well documented quality.
