0.85 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.85 carat emerald cut alexandrite measures 6.23 by 4.97 by 2.89 millimeters, and offers a rare combination of transparency, intense color, and an eye clean clarity that you seldom find in the market. Unlike many alexandrites that are heavily included, heat treated, or offered in smaller sizes, this stone is completely natural with no enhancement, and it displays a striking green to brown color change that is exceptionally strong for its size. The emerald cut emphasizes the gem when compared to brilliant cuts, because the step facets reveal color depth and saturation more honestly, producing an elegant, architectural look that suits both classic and contemporary settings, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet lines and smooth lustre that make the color change appear crisp under varying light sources. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this alexandrite brings the desirable provenance of Sri Lankan gem material, and it represents superior value to buyers who want authentic, untreated color change in a gemstone that is ready to set without additional treatment.

While this gem is eye clean to the unaided eye, its internal inclusions are visible under magnification, and those microscopic features are not flaws to hide, they are unique identifiers that confirm natural origin and add character. Fine needlelike or feathery inclusions, healing channels, or tiny mineral crystals create a fingerprint that gemologists can use to trace origin, and to collectors these internal patterns are part of the story of the stone, they make each gem unmistakably individual, and they contribute to the way light interacts with the facets, sometimes producing subtle silkiness that softens reflections for a more refined appearance. Compared to lab grown or heavily modified alternatives, a natural, eye clean alexandrite with documented Ceylon origin and no enhancement offers a level of authenticity and long term value that is difficult to match. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize stones that combine visual impact with natural character, and this emerald cut alexandrite exemplifies that philosophy, it is ideal for a statement ring or a bespoke piece, and it represents a smart purchase for collectors and connoisseurs seeking natural color change with clarity and provenance.
