0.71 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

Imagine slipping a secret of nature onto your finger, a gem that changes its mood with the light, a jewel that promises a new surprise at every glance. This is a transparent 0.71 carat cushion shape alexandrite from Brazil, measuring 6.14 by 5.10 by 2.83 millimeters, masterfully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, carrying an intense color presence, and finished with an excellent polish. Evaluated at eye level, it is very slightly included which means the view through the crown is beautifully clean and uninterrupted, allowing each facet to sing with life. There is no enhancement to this stone, it is simply born perfect from Brazilian soils, and when you hold it you will feel that rare thrill that only a true natural alexandrite can deliver, a thrill that brings warmth to the heart, a sparkle to the memory, and a promise for every meaningful moment you choose to celebrate.

The wonder of this alexandrite is its dramatic reflective personality, it reads bluish green beneath fluorescent light and shifts to a glowing reddish purple under incandescent light, a color dance that outperforms many of its peers in emotional impact. Compared with other alexandrites, especially lighter or less saturated examples, this gem’s intense color saturation and cushion proportions create a deeper, more theatrical color change, and the mixed brilliant cut amplifies both scintillation and color play, giving you flashes of green and teal that confidently flip to jewel toned purple and raspberry, a metamorphosis that feels almost alive. Against color change sapphires and other color shifting stones, this alexandrite’s reflective qualities feel more intimate and complex, rather than merely bright or flashy, because chrysoberyl alexandrite refracts light with a firm, lively brilliance and a focused sparkle, it shows crisp facet reflections and a denser body color, rather than the broader, softer glow you might see in corundum. Compared with synthetic alexandrites or heat treated gems, which can display even color zones but often lack natural depth and internal character, this Brazilian stone offers a layered, three dimensional reflection that reveals subtle hues as you move it, and its very slightly included clarity invites a natural character without compromising the vivid flashes of light, making every reflection feel authentic and treasured.

When you give, propose, or mark a milestone with this alexandrite from The Natural Gemstone Company, you are gifting more than a gemstone, you are gifting a living sentiment, a jewel whose reflective temperament will catch a thousand small moments of joy. Imagine a delicate setting that lets light enter freely from the sides, each movement producing a small reveal, a blush of purple when the evening lamp warms the room, a cool whisper of teal when daylight pours in, each light change creating a memory that grows brighter with every retelling. Its modest 0.71 carat size belies a commanding presence, perfect for a refined solitaire or a finely detailed vintage inspired ring, and because it is free of enhancements and originates from Brazil, it carries the honest charm of natural beauty. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish stones that connect, and this alexandrite is a storyteller, a keeper of moments, eager to become part of your story, please reach out and let us help you imagine the setting that will make its reflections sing for a lifetime.
