2.05 Ct. Cabochon Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This beautiful translucent alexandrite offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a true collector grade specimen, weighing 2.05 carats, with dimensions 7.62 by 6.87 by 4.14 mm, and fashioned in an elegant oval cabochon cut, certified by Other, lab color classification color change, origin Ceylon Sri Lanka, no enhancement. The gem displays a medium intense color intensity with a lovely color change phenomenon that shifts from a leafy green in daylight to a warm purplish red under incandescent lighting, and it has been evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, which preserves excellent transparency and overall visual appeal. The cabochon cut and excellent polish maximize the silky, liquid appearance of the surface, allowing the color change to read smoothly across the dome, and the lack of enhancements ensures the stone is entirely natural, making it especially attractive to purists and serious collectors.

For design and wearability the 2.05 carat oval cabochon sits comfortably as a center in a bespoke ring, a classic pendant, or an artisan style bracelet, and its moderate size and strong color shift make it versatile for both everyday wear and special occasion pieces. Because the color change is the defining feature, I recommend settings that expose the stone to different lighting conditions so the wearer can experience the dramatic transformation, for example open bezel or prong mounts that allow light from both directions. Care is straightforward, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, clean with mild soap and warm water, and store separately to prevent abrasion. If you would like professional photos under multiple lighting conditions, a custom mounting quote, or the certification documentation, The Natural Gemstone Company will be happy to assist, please contact us to reserve this rare Ceylon alexandrite or to discuss custom design options.
