0.76 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

This remarkable natural alexandrite offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare and elegant choice for anyone seeking a stone that truly ends the search. We present a transparent 0.76 carat emerald cut alexandrite with dimensions of 5.99 x 4.67 x 2.77 mm, exhibiting a dramatic color change from a bluish green under fluorescent light to a pinkish purple under incandescent light. The emerald cut is clean and classic, providing crisp step facets that emphasize the gem s clarity and color depth, while the excellent polish ensures lively light return and a refined surface that sparkles with every movement. This example is graded slightly included at eye level, which means the inclusions are minimal and do not distract from the gem s beauty, and it displays intense color intensity that is especially desirable in alexandrite. There has been no enhancement to alter its character, and its Brazilian origin gives it a provenance that many collectors and connoisseurs seek, making it an investment quality piece for both jewelry and collection purposes.

Durability is a key factor when choosing a gemstone for everyday wear, and this alexandrite is exceptionally well suited to that purpose. Alexandrite is a variety of chrysoberyl with a hardness of about 8.5 on the Mohs scale, which places it well above common jewelry gems like topaz and just below sapphire and ruby, providing strong resistance to scratches during daily activities. Beyond hardness, alexandrite is known for good toughness, meaning it resists chipping and breaking better than many gemstones with similar hardness, which makes it a smart choice for engagement rings and pieces that will be worn often. The stone s slight inclusions are internal and were evaluated at eye level, and they do not compromise the structural integrity of the gem, however care is always recommended to preserve its beauty. For the best long term protection we recommend secure settings such as a bezel or well placed prongs that shield the girdle and corners of the emerald cut, and for ring settings consider a low profile design to reduce the chance of hard impacts. Cleaning is straightforward, warm soapy water and a soft brush restore its brilliance quickly and safely, we advise caution with steam and ultrasonic cleaners when inclusions are present, and exposure to harsh chemicals and abrupt temperature changes should be avoided to maintain the gem s finish and color stability.
