0.97 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

This exceptional 0.97 carat oval alexandrite is a rare treasure for the discerning collector, coming to you as a one of a kind gem from Brazil, offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company. Transparent and eloquent in presence, it measures 7.27 by 5.35 by 3.23 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut is executed to maximize scintillation while preserving the stone body and classic oval elegance. The piece displays a remarkable greenish to reddish color change, an attribute that elevates alexandrite to legendary status among connoisseurs, and its color intensity is graded intense, commanding attention in both daylight and incandescent settings. Clarity is very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone remains visually clean and lively to the unaided eye, and the polish is excellent, giving the surface a mirror like finish that allows light to dance freely within the gem. No enhancements have been applied, so you receive a natural, untouched example of Brazilian alexandrite, a gem whose scarcity ensures that ownership confers a measure of exclusivity and refined taste.

Beyond its captivating color play and superior finish, this alexandrite offers substantial durability for wearable luxury, registering approximately 8.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness. To put that in perspective, it is significantly more resistant to scratches and daily wear than quartz which rates 7, and topaz which rates 8, while remaining slightly less hard than sapphire at 9 and well below diamond at 10. This means the gem is well suited to rings, pendants, and other pieces that see regular use, provided reasonable care is taken to avoid hard knocks and abrasive contact. For the collector who seeks a truly rare and authentic gemstone, this alexandrite represents both investment quality and personal distinction, a piece that will join a select few in the hands of those who appreciate nature delivered at its finest.
