1.05 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Cradle this beautiful transparent 1.05 carat fancy shape greenish to yellowish alexandrite, with dimensions 9.12 x 5.08 x 2.45 mm, a stone that seems to breathe color as if holding a secret twilight within its heart. The step cut invites the eye to travel along clean, architectural facets, each plane reflecting the gem's medium color intensity and the rare, shifting hues that make alexandrite a legend among gemstones. With a clarity graded as very very slightly included at eye level, and an excellent polish that lets light flow like liquid silver, this piece offers a purity and calm that speak to timeless vows and quiet afternoons. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka, no enhancement, every aspect of this gem is honest and whole, a natural marvel chosen for its integrity and its subtle romance.

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company I recommend this alexandrite for those who wish to wear beauty without compromise, for it is as resilient as it is rare. Chrysoberyl alexandrite ranks high in hardness, around 8.5 on the Mohs scale, and possesses a toughness that withstands the small violences of daily life, making it an ideal choice for engagement rings and beloved everyday pieces. The step cut not only enhances its color change, it also protects the stone, the broad facets reducing vulnerability along the girdle, while the lack of enhancement assures long term stability. Imagine it set against warm gold or cool platinum, a whisper of green turning to a hush of yellow as you move, a companion that endures through every ordinary miracle and every carefully marked milestone, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company as a promise of lasting beauty and dependable wear.
