1.67 Ct. Cabochon Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing describes a single, natural alexandrite, weighing 1.67 carats, presented in a round cabochon profile with dimensions of 6.35 x 6.19 x 4.57 mm. The gem is translucent, exhibiting an intense color presence and an excellent polish across the dome. Under daylight conditions the stone reads a bluish green, while under incandescent lighting the tone shifts to a reddish purple, demonstrating a clear and desirable color change characteristic of quality alexandrite. The cabochon cut enhances the perceived depth of color and produces a narrow reflective band when light is raked across the surface, consistent with the domed profile, inclusions are present at a level typical for natural material but do not detract from the overall appearance, no enhancement has been applied to this stone, and its documented origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka.

For practical use and consideration, the cabochon shape and polished dome make this alexandrite well suited to bezel or custom settings where the color change can be viewed easily under varying light sources. The compact dimensions and weight allow for use in rings, pendants, or bespoke pieces that benefit from a strong color change effect. As supplied by The Natural Gemstone Company this gem is offered in its natural state, without heat or other enhancement, and is accompanied by accurate measurements and visual description to support mounting and appraisal decisions. Please consider lighting conditions when evaluating the stone, as the intensity of the color change is most apparent when comparing daylight and incandescent illumination, and contact us for any additional imaging or measurement needs to confirm suitability for your intended design.
