2.14 Ct. Alexandrite from Tanzania

There is a quiet kind of magic held within a single stone, a small universe that shifts with the light and the gaze, and this 2.14 carat cushion shape alexandrite is a living poem of that magic. Transparent and luminous, it measures 7.91 x 7.24 x 4.07 mm, and its heart is a perfect balance between presence and intimacy. By day it sings of cool forest green, a serene and verdant world, and as the light warms it unfolds into a tender purplish red that feels like dusk and a slow, privileged hush. This is true color change in its most romantic form, a jewel that keeps a secret and reveals it only to those who look closely, a confidante for moments you want to remember. From its Tanzanian origin it arrives untouched by enhancement, a natural soul carried into your hands, with a medium intense color intensity that offers depth without overpowering the wearer.

The way this gem is cut is where craft meets poetry, the mixed brilliant cut giving each facet the precise angle to catch and return light in waves of scintillation. The cushion outline softens the brilliance into an embrace, while the brilliant facets parade fire and sparkle like stars waking in a summer sky. With an excellent polish every plane of this alexandrite is a mirror, each turn a flash, every breath a new constellation. Clarity is reassuringly pristine, graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, so the stone reads as clean and clear at a glance, and when held to the light those minute character lines become part of its story rather than a distraction. The result is a centerpiece that commands attention and then invites a quiet closer inspection, a gem that is both showstopper and secret keeper.

Imagine this stone set in a ring that tells a story as it crosses hands at a proposal, or placed into a pendant that swings gently against the chest and remembers the close of day. The cushion shape flatters many settings, and the mixed brilliant cut means every angle is a promise of light. Because there has been no enhancement, this alexandrite brings you the honest power of chemistry and geology, the rare coincidence of chromium and light, and the provenance of Tanzania adds a sense of place and origin to the romance. At The Natural Gemstone Company we celebrate such stones for their individuality and their capacity to feel like a legacy from the very first moment they are worn, a singular centerpiece in any collection, a jewel that can be the heart of an engagement ring, the quietly dramatic accent in an heirloom piece, or the treasure kept for one special season.
