0.91 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

In the hush between two heartbeats, a jewel waits to speak, a tiny universe captured in a tear of light. This is an alexandrite that moves like a secret, a transparent oval of bluish green to pinkish purple that shifts its mood as day becomes night, as sunlight yields to candle glow. At 0.91 carat this gem carries the presence of something nearly one whole carat, a weight that sings of rarity and value in equal measure. Weight in carats is the language of rarity, and a gem that approaches the one carat threshold offers a fullness that the eye and the heart both recognize, a balance between delicacy and substance that makes every gesture of the hand more meaningful. Imagine this 0.91 carat oval resting in a slender band, catching the wind of a passing thought, returning color like a memory that changes with every light. A stone like this becomes more than ornament, it becomes an agreement between time and beauty, it becomes the kind of treasure one might whisper about decades from now.

Look closer and the craftsmanship speaks, the numbers and grades becoming part of the poem. The gem measures 7.25 x 5.18 x 3.31 mm, an elegant oval footprint that sits gently upon the skin, neither shy nor brash. It bears a mixed brilliant cut, a cutting style that layers the fire of brilliant facets with the sophistication of mixed faceting, creating flashes that dance when the hand moves. At eye level this alexandrite is graded slightly included, a clarity grade that preserves the gem as a natural witness to geological time, tiny internal signatures that tell of deep earth formation, and that in no way diminish the gems enchanting glow. The color intensity is vivid, each hue saturated with personality, and the polish is excellent, a final finish that allows light to travel freely through and return to the viewer as beams of blue green and purple pink. There is no enhancement, the stone is untreated, its color change and depth born of natural origins. This alexandrite hails from Brazil, a provenance that adds to its story, a landscape of rivers and rainforests and mineral veins that have gifted the world with some of its most compelling color change specimens.

The weight of 0.91 carat matters, it elevates this alexandrite from a charming accent to a centerpiece, it informs both how light plays through the gem and how the gem will be perceived on the hand. In the market of colored gemstones every fraction of a carat can influence price and desirability, and a stone that sits so close to one carat becomes a sought after rarity, a bridge between simplicity and splendor. A nearly one carat alexandrite like this holds more visual weight, it commands longer looks, and for many collectors and lovers the difference between three quarters of a carat and 0.91 carat is the difference between a pretty detail and an heirloom. This is particularly true for alexandrite because of the dramatic color change, a feature that heightens value when combined with vivid intensity and good cut. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes the visual impact of each carat, so that the 0.91 carat mass refracts and redistributes light in ways that seem almost alive. Slight inclusions, visible only to careful observation at eye level, are minute statements of authenticity, reminders that this gem was formed under pressure and cooled into a one of a kind soul.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this alexandrite as a companion to stories of devotion and devotion to beauty, a gem that will respond to vows and anniversaries with a private light. The photographs and hand shots illustrate scale and wearability, how the gem rests upon a finger, how it shifts from a muted bluish green in bright daylight to a lush pinkish purple under incandescent glow, a living lesson in how light and love alter perception. The gem is transparent, the polish excellent, the cut designed to celebrate both color change and carriage on the finger, making it an ideal choice for an engagement ring that does not follow the expected script, or for a pendant that will hang near the heart and catch the eyes of those who come near. Our gemologists have evaluated the piece carefully, noting its slightly included clarity grade, its vivid color intensity, its exact dimensions, and its authentic Brazilian origin, and we present it unenhanced, a natural expression of mineral artistry. When a client chooses a 0.91 carat alexandrite, they choose a gem with presence, they select rarity that is measurable and felt, and they embrace an object that will age with stories and grow in meaning long after its market value has been set.

If you imagine slipping this oval alexandrite into a setting, picture how the weight will sit against the metal, how the nearly full carat will lend confidence to the design, how light will be invited and then returned as two shifting colors that speak in private. Let The Natural Gemstone Company be your guide in selecting a mount that honors the gems lightness and weight, a setting that protects its natural beauty while allowing the color change to perform freely. We invite you to feel the 0.91 carat difference, to appreciate the dimensions of 7.25 x 5.18 x 3.31 mm, the mixed brilliant cut, the slightly included clarity at eye level, the vivid color intensity, the excellent polish, the absence of enhancement, and the Brazilian origin, all woven into a single jewel that is poised to become a cherished heirloom. There is romance in the way color bends and returns, there is history in the tiny inclusions, there is rarity in the weight, and together they form a narrative waiting to be placed upon your hand.
