0.65 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

There is an immediacy to true rarity, a quiet authority that requires no proclamation, and this exquisite alexandrite from The Natural Gemstone Company embodies that measured prestige. We present a single, transparent 0.65 carat oval alexandrite, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize scintillation and depth, with precise dimensions of 6.33 by 4.61 by 2.97 millimeters. In daylight and cool fluorescent light the stone sings in a pure, forest green, while under incandescent light it deepens and shifts to a rich purplish red, a dramatic color change that has fascinated connoisseurs since the gem was first recognized. The clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent, allowing each facet to perform with clarity and fire. This gem has received a careful, controlled heat treatment to enhance its optical balance, a standard, stable and accepted practice that refines the stone without obscuring its natural character. Origin is Brazil, a source that has become celebrated for alexandrites that combine vivid color change with strong saturation, and this piece exhibits an intense color intensity that reads as both regal and intimately luminous.

Alexandrite carries a storied heritage that elevates it beyond mere ornament. Named for a moment in history when it was embraced by Russian high society, the gem was long regarded as a symbol of balance between opposing forces, a talisman that could accompany life transitions, ceremonies and rites of passage. For generations it has been set into heirloom rings and pendants, treasured as a marker of achievement and as a private emblem of refined taste. In many cultures alexandrite was believed to bring good fortune, to protect the wearer from ill intent, and to aid in assembling the courage required for important choices, a legacy that still informs how collectors choose and wear these stones today. This particular alexandrite, with its oval silhouette and mixed brilliant cut, is ideally suited to a solitary setting that honors the gem s ability to change and to command attention, while its very slightly included clarity assures authenticity, and a presence that feels lived in yet permanently elegant.

To own this alexandrite is to partake in a lineage of sophistication, to carry forward a story that begins in the earth and passes through generations of hands and settings. Imagine the stone set in a classic platinum solitaire, mounted to catch both the cool light of day and the warm glow of evening, performing its chromatic metamorphosis as a private conversation between wearer and world. Because it is modest in carat weight but exceptional in character, it presents a rare opportunity for those who seek a discreet yet unmistakable statement, an object that reads as accomplishment rather than ostentation. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor provenance and transparency, and we offer this alexandrite with full disclosure of its enhancement and origin, alongside personalized guidance for setting and care so that the gem may become an enduring family piece. For the collector who understands that true luxury is defined by story, rarity and impeccable finish, this alexandrite is a consummate choice, a jewel that celebrates refinement, marks pivotal moments and promises an unmatched intimacy with beauty.
