0.68 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a singular center stone that ends your quest for a memorable engagement ring or a rare collector’s piece, this pear shape alexandrite answers that need with confidence. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this transparent 0.68 carat gem measures 5.44 by 5.06 by 3.70 millimeters and has a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes brilliance and the striking color change alexandrite is prized for. With intense color intensity, excellent polish, and no enhancement, the gem shows a lively green in daylight and a warm brown in incandescent light, giving you a stone that transforms with its wearer and the moment. The clarity is graded as eye clean at eye level, which means the surface and faceting are free from visible distractions, maintaining pure color play and light return that immediately captures attention.

What makes this alexandrite ideal as a statement piece is the combination of size, shape, and exceptional clarity. While 0.68 carats might read modest on paper, the pear silhouette at 5.44 by 5.06 millimeters creates visual length and presence on a finger or pendant, and the mixed brilliant faceting produces scintillation that appears larger than the carat weight suggests. Its eye clean clarity allows uninterrupted color change across the table and facets, so every movement reveals deep greens and rich browns without any visible inclusions to break the effect. The excellent polish ensures each facet flashes cleanly, making this gem perfect for a solitaire engagement ring, a dramatic drop pendant, or a bespoke statement cocktail ring where the gem must draw every glance.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that true connoisseurs and couples seeking a one of a kind symbol want provenance, transparency, and an extraordinary look. This Ceylon alexandrite delivers on all three, unenhanced and beautifully finished, ready to set in a design that highlights its pear shape and lively color play. If you prefer a setting recommendation, a delicate halo will amplify color and presence, a prong setting will maximize light, and warmer metal tones will accentuate the brown phase while white metals will emphasize the green phase. Contact us for additional photos, setting options, or to reserve this stone, and let this alexandrite be the final piece that completes your vision.
