0.79 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent Other certified color change alexandrite offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare and highly desirable collector grade gem, weighing 0.79 carat, with dimensions of 4.86 x 6.64 x 2.79 mm, set in a fancy shape and executed in a precise step cut. The gem displays a greenish to yellowish color change with medium color intensity, and its clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears eye clean to most observers while retaining natural inclusions that confirm authenticity. The excellent polish enhances luster and contrast between the color states, and the stone has no enhancement, which is an important value driver for educated buyers who prioritize untreated natural material. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, and this provenance contributes to the gem character and rarity, as Sri Lankan alexandrite of this size, clarity and conspicuous color change is significantly less common than material from other localities.

From a gemological perspective this alexandrite is notable for the combination of its size and its color response, which together are uncommon in the marketplace. Alexandrite under one carat often displays weaker or less distinct color change, or exhibits higher inclusion levels, yet this stone maintains a clear and transparent body, a distinct greenish to yellowish shift, and a medium intensity that is both visible in typical lighting and elegant in jewelry use. The step cut amplifies the stone face and presents broad color planes, making the color change more dramatic in daily wear, while the very slightly included clarity grade assures that light performance and durability are uncompromised. The lack of enhancement and the Sri Lankan origin increase the gem investment profile, because untreated stones with credible origin at this size and quality are scarce. For the informed buyer seeking a gemstone that combines provenance, natural color change, eye appeal and investment merit, this alexandrite is a rare opportunity.
