Imagine presenting a stone that captures a lifetime of memories in its weight, a near perfect 0.98 carat alexandrite that feels substantial the moment it rests in your palm. This cushion shaped gem measures 6.53 x 5.61 x 3.06 mm, and its weight is not a trivial number, it is the heart of its value. A carat is how a gemstone carries presence, and at 0.98 carat this alexandrite sits at the threshold of a milestone that collectors and romantics both celebrate. That weight lends a boldness to its face up view, allowing the mixed brilliant cut to throw light with lively brilliance, and to reveal the stone's rare color change from yellowish green to reddish brown in lighting that matters most, the golden moments and candlelit kisses.
Knowing gemstones means knowing how weight and rarity entwine, and this alexandrite makes that relationship sing. Because it is nearly one full carat, each facet has been cut to maximize both spread and depth, creating a jewel that reads larger than its dimensions might suggest, and that carries a market value that increases significantly as weight approaches the 1 carat mark. The clarity is very slightly included when viewed at eye level, meaning it is visually clean to the admirer and resilient in its radiance, while the medium intense color gives the color change both drama and elegance. An excellent polish means every glance is rewarded with a smooth, reflective surface that magnifies emotion as well as light. This is a natural gem with no enhancement, a pure expression of nature from Madagascar, a source known for producing alexandrite with genuine character.
At The Natural Gemstone Company we believe a gemstone is a promise, and the promise of this 0.98 carat alexandrite is extraordinary. It is the perfect center to mark an engagement, an anniversary, or a moment you want to feel forever. The weight brings both visual impact and investment potential, the color change brings surprise and romance, and the natural origin and lack of treatment bring assurance and pride. Choose a gem that will be held, admired, and handed down, a jewel whose nearly one carat weight will carry the story of your love and your joy for generations.
