0.84 Ct. Alexandrite from Russia

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we are delighted to present to you an exquisite transparent alexandrite gemstone, boasting a captivating play of color that shifts between bluish green and reddish purple under varying light conditions. Weighing 0.84 carats, this pear-shaped marvel is not only a testament to nature's artistry but also a valuable asset comparable to some of the most renowned gemstones in history. With dimensions of 7.13 x 4.81 x 3.55 mm, this alexandrite is carefully crafted with a mixed brilliant cut, showcasing its ability to disperse light effectively and enhance its inherent beauty. The origin of this precious gemstone is Russia, celebrated historically for producing some of the most coveted examples of alexandrite.

In history, alexandrite is revered nearly as much as gemstones like the Hope Diamond or the Star of India. It is a unique variety of chrysoberyl that is incredibly rare, making it exceptionally valuable among collectors and jewelers. The remarkable ability of this alexandrite to exhibit color change is reminiscent of the magical transformation of gems in ancient lore, offering an experience similar to watching a sunrise in full motion. Such phenomena are possible due to the presence of chromium in the gemstone, a mineral that contributes to alexandrite's distinct visual properties. Though its clarity is graded as 'included' upon eye level examination, indicating there are internal characteristics or inclusions present, these do not detract significantly from its appeal or rarity. Rather, they underscore the natural origin of this magnificent stone.

What elevates this gemstone's allure even further is its intense color intensity and excellent polish. While alexandrite's mysterious color change is its stand-out feature, its vivid hues in both bright daylight and warm incandescent light are simply mesmerizing. These gemstones are not merely ornamental: they symbolize mystery and enchantment, capturing the imagination of anyone who beholds them. With its origin rooted in Russia, this alexandrite shares its pedigree with some of the most illustrious stones ever discovered, consequently reinforcing its status in the realm of treasured gemstones. For the educated buyer, investing in an alexandrite such as this one from The Natural Gemstone Company is not only choosing a stone with riveting aesthetic qualities but also selecting a piece of geological history that will maintain its value and continue to captivate for generations to come.
