0.73 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

If you are searching for a single stone that will bring an engagement, a special commission, or a rare collector piece to a definitive and elegant conclusion, this 0.73 carat oval alexandrite from Brazil is the answer. Its oval proportions of 6.81 x 4.62 x 2.73 millimeters give it a classic, wearable silhouette that adapts beautifully to ring, pendant, or bespoke settings, and its mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation while preserving a pleasing table for color to show. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that you want more than weight and measurements, you want presence, reliability, and a gemstone that communicates character every time it catches the light, and this alexandrite delivers on all of those expectations.

What will make you fall in love with this gem is the color change from bluish green in daylight and fluorescent conditions to pinkish purple under incandescent light, a phenomenon that is rare and thrilling for anyone who values living color. The vivid color intensity of this stone gives dramatic, saturated tones that read clearly at everyday viewing distances, and the clarity grade of very slightly included as evaluated at eye level ensures that the color and brilliance remain uninterrupted by obvious inclusions. Because this piece has no enhancements and an excellent polish, you can wear it confidently knowing that its visual impact is entirely natural, and that its polish and facets were executed to show the maximum depth and play of color inherent to alexandrite crystals from Brazil.

Compared to more common gemstones, this alexandrite stands apart in both spectacle and rarity. A sapphire offers deep stable color and a loyal presence, and a ruby provides passionate red hues and historic prestige, while an emerald charms with lush green but often requires treatments and reveals more eye visible inclusions. Alexandrite, by contrast, offers a dynamic narrative, a stone that changes its story with the light, and that property makes it inherently more captivating than single color stones. In terms of brilliance, the mixed brilliant cut of this oval alexandrite produces flashes and scintillation that rival the lively fire of a well cut sapphire, while the color change adds a dimension that diamonds and many common gemstones cannot replicate, because diamonds favor white sparkle and dispersion rather than shifting hue. For collectors and for those choosing an engagement stone, this alexandrite offers a daily experience that evolves with your environment, giving a rare blend of optical performance and emotional resonance.

When you are deciding how to set and present this gem, consider designs that celebrate both its day and evening personalities. A clean solitaire or a halo of small diamonds will emphasize the vivid color and sparkling facet work, while a low bezel setting can protect the stone and keep the color shift visible from most angles. For customers who want a commitment piece with story and substance, The Natural Gemstone Company recommends commissioning a ring that allows the stone to sit close to the skin so the color change can be admired up close, and that pairs metals and accents to complement the bluish green to pinkish purple palette. This alexandrite is more than a purchase, it is a concluding chapter to a search for beauty that is rare and verifiable, and for those who have been waiting for a gem that will stop their quest, it is a perfect solution.
