2.10 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

If you are searching for an engagement gem that combines rarity, resilience, and a captivating personality, this 2.10 carat oval alexandrite from Brazil is the answer, presented with pride by The Natural Gemstone Company. Transparent and perfectly proportioned at 9.42 by 7.39 by 4.22 mm, this stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances table and pavilion facets to deliver both color depth and lively light performance. Graded very very slightly included at eye level, with intense color intensity and an excellent polish, this alexandrite comes to you with no enhancement, offering natural beauty and integrity. Alexandrite is a durable choice for daily wear with a hardness near 8.5 on the Mohs scale, and this gem’s clarity and polish ensure the kind of clean, reflective surfaces collectors and brides alike seek, while the mixed brilliant cut maximizes return of light and intensifies the dramatic color shift that defines this species.

When it comes to reflective qualities, alexandrite plays a unique role among fine colored gems, and this specimen excels. Unlike emeralds, which are often admired for saturated green but are typically more included and have a softer, more velvety reflection, this alexandrite presents crisp brilliance and transparent light return, producing clear flashes as it moves. Compared with sapphire and spinel, which usually deliver consistent single color and a steady luster, alexandrite offers a dynamic visual experience, reflecting different hues under varied light sources, greener tones in daylight, purplish red under incandescent light, and a lively scintillation from the well executed facets. Against high dispersion gems like demantoid garnet, which demonstrate pronounced fire, this alexandrite emphasizes color change over fire, so reflections are richer in hue transition rather than spectral flashes, a quality prized by collectors for its mood shifting beauty. This Brazilian alexandrite stands out for its strong color change, excellent polish, and clean transparency, making it the perfect solution whether you are seeking a singular engagement stone, or a museum quality addition to a curated collection, and with The Natural Gemstone Company your search for a gem that ends your quest concludes here.
