1.08 Ct. Alexandrite from Russia

The Natural Gemstone Company proudly presents an exquisite gem for the discerning collector, a transparent 1.08 carat oval shape alexandrite, hailing from the renowned mines of Russia. With dimensions of 7.59 x 5.32 x 3.43 mm, this exceptional gemstone serves as a testament to the sophisticated allure and rare quality for which Russian alexandrites are celebrated. Our alexandrite displays a distinctive color change from a vivid green in natural daylight to a mesmerizing purple under incandescent lighting, a feature that captivates both novice enthusiasts and seasoned collectors alike. This remarkable transformation is facilitated by trace amounts of chromium, lending the alexandrite its unique and highly sought-after property, different from other gemstones in its class.

The mixed brilliant cut of this alexandrite enhances its natural brilliance and fire, ensuring a breathtaking play of light that accentuates its rich color intensity. The gemstone is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which minimally affects its remarkable aesthetic appearance and allows for even greater accessibility to those seeking the allure of fine gemstones. An intense color intensity distinguishes this piece, creating a deep saturation that allows the stone to command attention and admiration. Excellent polish ensures that the gemstone's surface is immaculate, facilitating light to pass freely and enhance its innate beauty.

Originating from Russia, this alexandrite carries a storied provenance that adds to its allure and desirability. Russian alexandrites are traditionally esteemed for their exceptional quality and striking color change capabilities, and are considered the hallmark of superior craftsmanship and natural artistry. Russia’s Ural Mountains are especially famed for producing alexandrites that set the standard for what these gems should be, with an eye-catching shift in color that matches or even surpasses that of alexandrites found in other prestigious locales like Brazil and India. The geological conditions in Russia, coupled with an intricate combination of minerals, create a palette in these gemstones that resonates with depth and legacy.

The Natural Gemstone Company ensures that every piece is not only a marvel of the natural world but also a secure and informed investment for our clients.
