When customers are searching for a truly remarkable gem that can become the center of an engagement ring, a daily wear statement, or an investment grade addition to a collection, this 1.76 carat oval alexandrite from The Natural Gemstone Company answers that need with clarity and confidence. This transparent oval measures 8.90 x 6.47 x 3.90 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut maximizes fire and scintillation while preserving weight and presence. Under fluorescent lighting the stone shows a vivid green, and under incandescent lighting it shifts to a purplish red, offering the classic and much admired color change that collectors and romantics seek. With a clarity described as very slightly included at eye level, and with an excellent polish, the gem presents a clean face up appearance and lively brilliance that will make any setting come alive. There is no enhancement, and the natural origin from Brazil adds provenance and rarity, making this alexandrite a complete solution for customers who want an unaltered, eye catching color change gem ready to set in a treasured piece.
For buyers who need a gem that withstands daily life, alexandrite is an ideal choice, because chrysoberyl alexandrite ranks approximately 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, offering exceptional resistance to scratching and abrasion for rings and bracelets worn every day. The combination of substantial hardness and good toughness means this 1.76 carat stone will hold its polish and shape with normal wear, while the excellent polish and precise mixed brilliant cut reduce the likelihood of chipping when set properly. Since this gem is natural and untreated, routine care such as gentle cleaning with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush will keep the colors vivid, and professional inspection of the setting will safeguard the stone in active use. If customers want a piece that delivers dramatic color change, enduring beauty, and the durability to be worn and enjoyed every day, this Brazilian alexandrite from The Natural Gemstone Company is the perfect answer.
