2.15 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

This GIA certified alexandrite presents a rare and captivating combination of color, clarity, and proportion, making it an exceptional choice for a meaningful gift, The Natural Gemstone Company. Weighing 2.15 carats, this cushion shaped gem displays a striking color change that reads green to blue in one light source, and purple in another, a hallmark of fine alexandrite. The stone is transparent, with an intense color intensity that remains vivid across its surfaces, and an overall presence that commands attention when viewed in hand or in a finished setting. The GIA certification provides objective verification of identity and quality attributes, offering the recipient a documented assurance of authenticity and provenance, attributes that enhance the significance of the gift.

Measured at 7.21 by 7.06 by 4.85 mm, the dimensions of this alexandrite deliver substantial visual impact while retaining comfortable wearability for rings, pendants, or bespoke designs. The mixed brilliant cut was selected to optimize both brilliance and color distribution, combining facet proportions that enhance light return while preserving the color change effect. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means inclusions are minor and do not detract from the overall transparency or durability of the gem. The polish is excellent, contributing to crisp facet junctions and lively surface reflection, attributes that support the gem s intense visual character in both daylight and incandescent illumination.

This gem originates from Brazil, a locality known for producing alexandrite specimens with distinctive color responses and pleasing saturation. There has been no enhancement applied, the stone is natural and untreated, which is a key consideration for collectors and for those seeking a gem whose properties are wholly the product of natural formation. When examined under different light sources the gem reveals a complex interplay of hues, exhibiting greenish to orangish tones in transition states, and a deeper purple under warmer lighting. The chromatic behavior results from trace chromium within the crystal lattice, and the mixed brilliant cut helps to present those nuances evenly across the crown and pavilion, ensuring the color change is perceptible from multiple viewing angles.

As a gift, this alexandrite offers a distinct narrative of rarity, natural origin, and verified quality, qualities that resonate when marking significant moments. The combination of a recognizable color change, a substantial 2.15 carat weight, and precise cutting makes the gem exceptionally photogenic and wearable, suitable for a centerpiece that will be admired daily, and passed down as an heirloom. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can provide the GIA report alongside professional guidance on mounting options that complement the gem s optical qualities, and we offer recommendations for settings that protect the gem while allowing the color change to be fully appreciated. Presented with its certification and provenance, this alexandrite will make a striking and enduring gift for someone special, a gem that tells a story of natural beauty and careful craftsmanship.
