1.37 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

This pear shape alexandrite from The Natural Gemstone Company presents an extraordinary combination of size, cut, and natural color change that sets it apart from typical offerings on the market. At 1.37 carat and with dimensions of 9.24 by 5.26 by 3.98 mm this gem sits in an ideal weight and proportion range for use as a striking center stone. Unlike many smaller or heavily included alexandrites commonly sold online this specimen is transparent with a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, making it visually clean and allowing light to travel through the stone with minimal obstruction. The vivid color intensity combined with no enhancement and an origin in Brazil ensures that you are acquiring a genuinely natural gem rather than something that has been treated for appearance.

What truly elevates this alexandrite above other market choices is the mixed brilliant cut and the excellent polish. The mixed brilliant facet arrangement maximizes scintillation and return of light while preserving depth of color, which is particularly important for stones that display color change. Many sellers offer standard cuts that either emphasize depth at the expense of sparkle or produce too shallow a table that diminishes color saturation. This pear shape has been proportioned to balance fire and color deliverance, so under white daylight the stone shows a deep green and under incandescent light it shifts to a rich purple. The excellent polish enhances the contrast between flashes of brilliance and the rich body tones, making the gem perform like a much larger stone when set.

When compared to other collector grade gemstones such as sapphires emeralds and rubies this alexandrite offers a unique visual drama that those single color stones cannot match. Color change is an effect prized by connoisseurs because it gives the wearer two looks in one gem, and natural no enhancement alexandrite with vivid intensity is scarce. Against lab grown alternatives treated sapphires or color enhanced stones this Brazilian alexandrite holds its value better because the color change is inherent and the clarity and cut are natural attributes rather than the result of manipulation.

Beyond the technical qualities this alexandrite performs beautifully in practical settings. The pear shape creates an elongated silhouette on the finger that flatters and draws the eye, while the balanced proportions and mixed brilliant cutting pattern ensure consistent sparkle from every angle. Because the stone is unenhanced you can select secure settings that will protect the pavilion and tip without worrying about heat or dye stability issues.
