1.02 Ct. Alexandrite from Tanzania

This alexandrite is a transparent, cushion shape gemstone weighing 1.02 carat, with dimensions of 5.47 x 5.42 x 3.79 mm, presented in a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with color depth. The clarity grade is included, evaluated at eye level, and the stone exhibits an intense color intensity together with an excellent polish that maximizes light return across the pavilion and crown facets. There has been no enhancement applied to this material, and the gem retains its natural integrity from its Tanzanian origin. The combination of precise cutting proportions and a well executed polish results in reliable performance under varied lighting conditions, with facet junctions and girdle symmetry that support secure setting in a wide range of mounting styles.

The defining attribute of this gem is its greenish to orangish color transition, a vivid characteristic that will stand out in any jewelry setting, whether framed as a solitary center stone or paired in a multi gem composition. In daylight, the cooler green tones present with clarity and saturation that complement white metal surrounds, while under incandescent or warmer lighting the orangish tones come forward, creating an arresting visual contrast that commands attention. The stone’s moderate dimensions and substantial fire allow it to read larger than its carat weight in many mounting designs, providing presence without overwhelming the piece. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this alexandrite as a specimen for collectors and designers who prioritize natural color response, uncompromised clarity at the eye level, and durable polish, making it an excellent choice for bespoke rings, refined pendants, and high end earrings where the gem’s vibrant color will be the principal visual focus.
