In the heart of the lush hills of Ceylon, where the air is fragranced by blooming flora and the ground is rich with earthly treasures, our captivating alexandrite was born. This enchanting 1.56 carat gemstone, with dimensions of 6.18 x 6.01 x 4.05 mm, possesses a unique story as vibrant and shifting as its hues.
