0.95 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

If you are searching for a singular stone to complete an engagement ring, to anchor a collector grade cabinet, or to celebrate a milestone with a jewel that changes with the hours, this 0.95 carat oval alexandrite offered by The Natural Gemstone Company answers that quest with distinction. This gem measures 6.87 by 5.28 by 3.58 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut maximizes both scintillation and the classic alexandrite color shift. Evaluated at eye level it is slightly included, a clarity grade that confirms natural origin while remaining visually pleasing for most settings. Color intensity is vivid, and polish is excellent, attributes that result in lively greens in daylight and a warm purplish red in incandescent and evening light. There has been no enhancement, and the stone originates from Brazil, a source that has produced many of the most admired modern alexandrites. For a customer seeking a durable treasure, chrysoberyl alexandrite carries remarkable toughness suitable for daily wear, a practical advantage for an engagement ring that will be worn for decades. If your aim is to combine rarity, wearability, and a constantly shifting personality in one small package, this alexandrite meets that need in a way few gems can.

To place this gem in a historical context helps reveal its unique appeal. The alexandrite family became legendary in the nineteenth century when Russian stones from the Ural mountains captured the fascination of the Romanov court, and those Ural pieces remain icons of color changing magic. This Brazilian alexandrite channels that same theatrical transformation, yet it brings its own identity with a vividness that often rivals the most sought after specimens from history. Consider the Hope Diamond when thinking about romance and fame, and the Dresden Green when thinking about an unmistakable green that dominates every room, and consider classic rubies from Burma when picturing a heart stopping red. This stone offers an intimate echo of all those storied qualities, green like the great historical greens, red like the noblest rubies, and carrying a distinct brilliance courtesy of its mixed brilliant cut that invites comparison to well cut historic gems that have dazzled through the ages. Unlike many famous stones that are defined by a single color or a single provenance, alexandrite is celebrated because it cannot be neatly summarized, and this piece from Brazil is a contemporary chapter in that ongoing story, one that collectors and romantics will both recognize and prize.

Practical considerations and design possibilities are often at the heart of a decision to buy, and this alexandrite excels in both technical and aesthetic terms. Slightly included clarity at eye level means that the inclusions are natural fingerprints of a genuine gem, they typically do not interfere with the vivid color change, and when the stone is set in a thoughtful design they will be nearly invisible to a casual observer. The oval shape and the measurements present a flattering face up area that visually reads larger than its carat weight might suggest, making it an elegant choice for a solitaire engagement ring or for a three stone composition flanked by diamonds or warm toned sapphires. The mixed brilliant cut creates internal fire and lively surface sparkle, ensuring that the stone asserts presence under daylight and evening light alike. Because there has been no enhancement, the gem is an honest, untreated natural treasure, a feature that collectors prize and that offers long term value stability. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand ready to assist with setting recommendations, secure sourcing documentation, and high resolution imagery or video to show the color change in multiple lighting conditions. If your aim is to conclude a search with a gem that is rare, wearable, and emotionally resonant, this Brazilian alexandrite is a compelling solution that fulfills the practical needs of everyday wear and the romantic desire for a jewel with history and mystery.
