1.76 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

This 1.76 carat, oval shape alexandrite measures 8.90 by 6.47 by 3.90 millimeters, and is cut in a mixed brilliant pavilion and modified crown to balance sparkle with optimal color response. The stone exhibits a pronounced greenish to reddish color change with vivid color intensity, a signature trait that distinguishes high quality alexandrite from more common green gemstones. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, which for an educated buyer means the gem presents excellent transparency to the naked eye, with only minor internal features noticeable under magnification. The excellent polish enhances light return and the subtle color change, ensuring the stone performs well both in daylight and incandescent lighting. There has been no enhancement to this gem, no heat treatment, diffusion, or dyeing, so the material is entirely natural in its optical properties and structural condition. The mixed brilliant cut further supports brilliance and fire while preserving the saturation and evenness of color, making this piece attractive for both precision set jewelry and collectors seeking strong, natural color change.

The Brazilian origin considerably adds to the desirability and market value of this alexandrite, The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to present Brazilian material because Brazil has produced some of the most collectible alexandrites in the modern gem era, noted for clean crystals, lively color change, and reliable supply documentation. For the discerning buyer, origin matters because it informs expected crystal habit, inclusional character, and long term rarity profile, Brazil-sourced alexandrite often balances rarity with accessibility compared to historical Russian examples, while still delivering the important attributes that define premium alexandrite, namely distinct color change, good clarity, and robust crystal quality. Because this specimen is natural and untreated, certified dimensions, cut style, and clarity assessment are directly relevant to valuation and setting decisions, and the absence of enhancements preserves both intrinsic and resale value. Whether purchased as a centerpiece for custom jewelry, a specialist collector’s specimen, or as part of a gem investment portfolio, this alexandrite from Brazil represents a sound choice for buyers who prioritize documented origin, transparent grading, and uncompromised optical performance, backed by the provenance and gemological reporting standards of The Natural Gemstone Company.
