1.00 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present a rare and refined 1.00 carat oval alexandrite, a jewel that transforms light into an expression of cultivated taste. Measuring 7.85 by 5.41 by 3.23 millimeters, this transparent gem displays an arresting color change from greenish blue in daylight to a sumptuous purple under incandescent light. Originating from Brazil and utterly natural with no enhancement, it carries an intense color saturation and a clarity graded as very slightly included at eye level, a level of transparency that allows light to pass unimpeded and reveal the stone s inner life. The excellent polish and careful proportions speak to an exacting lapidary hand, creating a surface that reflects and refracts with the precision expected by the most discerning collector.

The mixed brilliant cut and elegant oval outline are central to the gem s extraordinary performance, designed to enhance both brilliance and the dramatic alexandrite color change. The brilliant style crown facets capture and scatter incoming light, producing lively scintillation, while the precision faceting of the pavilion directs that light back through the table to emphasize depth and hue. This balance of airy brilliance and internal reflection magnifies the gem s pleochroic tendencies, permitting greenish blue tones to glow vibrant in natural light, then resolving into layered purples and magentas under warm illumination. The oval shape further elongates the color zones and increases the visible surface area, so every movement of the hand becomes a miniature theatrical display of color. Because the stone is eye clean and expertly polished, facet junctions remain crisp, providing sharp contrasts between flashes of light and rich color, a trait that elevates this alexandrite beyond mere rarity into the realm of wearable art. For someone who appreciates ownership as a statement of refinement, this Brazilian alexandrite from The Natural Gemstone Company is an achievement to be worn and admired, a singular token of distinction that performs beautifully in both private and public light.
