2.05 Ct. Cabochon Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Alexandrite has long been celebrated as a gem of rare mystery and royal association, first prized in the 19th century and named for the Russian tsar whose era it mirrored. Its storied history carries a sense of transformation and prestige, and this Ceylon alexandrite continues that tradition with a timeless cabochon form that honors classical gem cutting. The smooth oval silhouette speaks to centuries of craftsmanship, inviting those who cherish legacy and continuity to wear a stone that changes as light itself changes, a literal symbol of endurance and subtle drama.

This particular gem is a translucent color change alexandrite from Ceylon Sri Lanka, weighing 2.05 carat, with dimensions 7.62 x 6.87 x 4.14 mm, presented in an oval cabochon cut that amplifies its shifting hues. Under daylight it shows a clear green, and under incandescent lighting it moves toward a purplish red, an exquisite demonstration of color change, certified by Other, lab color classification color change. The clarity is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, offering a clean face with character rather than distraction. Color intensity is medium intense, the polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement. These qualities make it a rare example of an unaltered natural alexandrite that performs beautifully as a centerpiece in classic jewellery, especially in settings that celebrate the cabochon form, such as vintage inspired rings or pendants meant to be handed down through generations.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this alexandrite as a jewel for collectors and connoisseurs who honor provenance, history, and unenhanced natural beauty, accompanied by its certification for clarity and color change. Its balanced weight and elegant oval proportions make it ideal for bespoke pieces that require a gem with both presence and refined understatement, a stone that reads as heirloom from the moment it is set. If you seek a gemstone that embodies transformation, lineage, and enduring allure, this Ceylon alexandrite offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of gemological history, thoughtfully selected and ready to become part of your family story.
