0.73 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

This 0.73 carat oval alexandrite from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a technically refined profile for collectors and connoisseurs, dimensions 6.81 x 4.62 x 2.73 mm, greenish to purplish color change, vivid intensity. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant style crown with a precision step influenced pavilion, which is calibrated to maximize both face up brilliance and the stone’s dramatic color change under varied lighting. Facet junctions are crisp and symmetrical, and the excellent polish produces sharp facet reflection and lively scintillation. Clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, with inclusions that do not interrupt light performance or color saturation at normal viewing distances, maintaining transparency and optical depth. There is no enhancement, confirming natural color and internal character, and the piece is sourced from Brazil, an origin known for producing alexandrite with clear, saturated color change and stable crystal structure.

From a durability perspective this alexandrite is exceptionally well suited for daily wear in finished jewelry. As part of the chrysoberyl family it has a high hardness of 8.5 on the Mohs scale and exhibits excellent toughness and resistance to abrasion, making it appropriate for rings, bracelets, pendants, and earrings intended for regular use. The mixed brilliant faceting preserves strong light return while the stone’s proportions, including a depth of 2.73 mm, balance durability and appearance, reducing vulnerability to edge chips when set with proper protective settings. For longevity we recommend secure prong settings with protective crowns or a low profile bezel for high impact applications, routine cleaning with mild detergent and soft brush to maintain polish, and avoidance of extreme thermal shock. This alexandrite’s natural, vivid color change, superior polish, and eye level clarity make it an outstanding candidate for everyday jewelry that combines technical excellence with practical resilience, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company as a ready to set, uncompromised natural gem.
