0.68 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the realm of gemstones, few hold as captivating a history or as bewitching a presence as alexandrite. Our stunning 0.68 carat pear-shaped green to brown alexandrite is a testament to nature's artistry and the geological wonders of time. Mined from the legendary landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this gemstone carries with it the echoes of ancient civilisations and the whispers of the earth’s deep heritage. Its dimensions, 6.77 x 4.73 x 3.07 mm, hold a compact brilliance that defies its size, while its mixed brilliant cut reveals a scintillating play of light and shadows. The clarity grade of very slightly included assures that its interior is almost pure, with inclusions that are a testament to its natural origin, not flaws, but signatures of the earth's authenticity.

What sets this alexandrite apart, however, is its intense color intensity and excellent polish. Known for its remarkable color-changing properties, alexandrite in its natural form shifts from lively green in daylight to a warm brown under incandescent light, echoing the elemental shifts that crafted it over millennia. Such stones are rare, their hues and transformative nature unmatched in the world of gemstones. In contrast to their lab-grown counterparts, natural alexandrites like ours possess a uniqueness born from the intricate dance of geological time and pressure that synthetic processes simply cannot replicate. Lab-grown gems, while visually appealing and more affordable, do not carry the history, nor do they offer the unique experiences shaped over thousands of years beneath the earth's crust.

The Natural Gemstone Company prides itself on sourcing gems that celebrate the beauty of the earth in its most unaltered forms. Each gem is not just a piece of exquisite jewelry but a fragment of history, a legacy to be cherished and passed down through generations. This alexandrite is no different, offering a piece of the Ceylonese legacy, a symbol of refined taste and respect for natural splendor. Choose the timelessness of natural stones, not only for their beauty but for their story—a narrative that connects the past with the present and captivates the soul as effectively as it captures the light.
