0.94 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

This exquisite 0.94 carat marquise shape alexandrite from Brazil is a study in rare refinement, destined to become the centerpiece of a distinguished collection. Measuring 9.81 by 4.51 by 3.12 mm, it has been masterfully faceted in a mixed brilliant cut, producing a scintillating balance of sparkle and depth. Transparent, with a clarity graded as very slightly included at eye level, and furnished with an excellent polish, this gem reveals an intense color intensity that shifts from a vibrant green under fluorescent lighting to a sumptuous purplish red under incandescent light. Entirely natural and without enhancement, it is an uncompromised statement of provenance and purity, a single stone that carries the quiet authority of rarity and the provenance of The Natural Gemstone Company.

Against the classics, this alexandrite stands apart in both spectacle and character. Unlike diamonds, which are prized primarily for white brilliance and fire, this alexandrite offers a living drama, a color change that responds to light and mood, creating a dynamic allure no static brilliance can match. Compared with sapphires and emeralds, whose deep, single tone is undeniably beautiful, this gem plays two complementary portraits, revealing green vitality and velvety red romance within the same silhouette. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies this duality, allowing light to both dance and saturate the color planes, producing flashes of brilliance that are finer and more animated than many colored gems cut for color alone. With a hardness that ensures everyday elegance, and a rarity that elevates ownership into a mark of connoisseurship, this alexandrite is not simply a jewel, it is an achievement. For the collector who prizes distinction over convention, this stone from The Natural Gemstone Company is an heirloom in waiting, a personal emblem of refined taste and unmistakable status.
