1.90 Ct. Cabochon Alexandrite from Russia

From the oldest veins of the Russian earth to the careful hands that bring a gem to life, this alexandrite tells a story that spans centuries, landscapes, and craft. Formed under intense heat and pressure within chrysoberyl deposits, the rough stone was liberated from its Russian host where alexandrite first captured the world with its rare color changing magic. Miners and lapidaries in that region learned to respect both the patience and precision required to reveal such a treasure, and the stone you see before you carries that heritage in every translucent breath of color. Historically prized by collectors for its association with Russian royalty and celebrated for its spectral personality, this alexandrite connects natural history and human artistry in a single, compact form that feels like a wearable fragment of time.

As presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this one beautiful translucent 1.90 carat alexandrite is fashioned in an oval shape with cabochon cut dimensions of 8.51 by 6.07 by 3.57 millimeters. The clarity grade is slightly included evaluated at eye level, which lends authenticity and character without diminishing the gem s vivid color intensity. Under daylight the stone carries a rich green, and under incandescent lighting it shifts toward a deep purple, demonstrating the classic alexandrite color change that collectors and connoisseurs revere. There has been no enhancement, and the piece shows an excellent polish that allows the surface to catch and reflect light with smooth, elegant luster. This gem is ideal for a refined ring or a pendant that highlights its cabochon dome and the subtle depth that translucency provides. If you are seeking a stone with provenance, personality, and a story to tell, this Russian alexandrite offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is poised to become a signature piece in a curated collection, an heirloom in the making, or the centerpiece that makes a design truly unforgettable.
