Introducing an exquisite offering from The Natural Gemstone Company, our stunning 1.07 carat oval shape alexandrite is a true masterpiece. This gem, originating from the famed deposits of Madagascar, exhibits a breathtaking green hue in daylight which transforms into a rich purplish red under incandescent light. This remarkable color change phenomenon is what makes alexandrite one of the most coveted gems in the world, and ours stands as a superior choice due to its unmatched characteristics.
When compared to alexandrites from other renowned sources, such as Russia and Brazil, our Madagascan variety holds its own in the arena of color intensity and clarity. Russian alexandrites are famous for their deep color change, yet often come with a trade-off in terms of clarity, frequently displaying significant inclusions. Our alexandrite, however, boasts a very slightly included clarity grade, assessed at eye level, ensuring that its visual beauty is unmarred by imperfections. Brazilian alexandrites are known for their vibrant hues, but our gem's intense color intensity underlines its rarity and desirability, rivaling even the finest Brazilian specimens.
The artistry in cutting further elevates this alexandrite from The Natural Gemstone Company above others. With dimensions of 7.07 x 5.27 x 3.57 mm, this gem employs a mixed brilliant cut, which not only enhances its color transformation but also maximizes light reflection, creating an enchanting play of light that captivates the beholder. The excellent polish reflects our commitment to quality, ensuring that each facet gleams with impeccable precision, making it an irresistible choice for collectors and jewelry enthusiasts alike.
What distinguishes this Madagascan alexandrite in terms of hue is not only its remarkable transformation but also its balanced tones. In daylight, its green is neither too dark nor too light, setting it apart from stones that may appear overly saturated. Under incandescent light, the purplish red tone comes alive with a richness akin to that found only in the rarest of alexandrites. This balance makes it more versatile for various jewelry settings, adapting seamlessly from day to night wear with an elegance that is unmatched in the gemstone world.
In summary, The Natural Gemstone Company takes pride in offering this singular alexandrite, distinguished not just by its striking color change but also by its superior clarity and exquisite cut. Whether compared to the classic Russian or the vibrant Brazilian varieties, our Madagascan gem stands out as a beacon of beauty and excellence. It promises a unique investment not merely in jewelry but in a legacy of passion and artisanal tradition that perpetually shines.
