2.27 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

One beautiful transparent 2.27 carat oval shape alexandrite from Brazil offers an exceptional combination of size, color change, and natural character, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this gem. Measuring 9.51 by 6.89 by 4.66 mm, and fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, this stone balances strong fire with a lively play of color that shifts from a clear green under fluorescent light to a rich purple under incandescent light. The clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, yet the transparency and excellent polish allow light to dance across the facets with an intensity few stones can match. Unlike many stones on the market that have been treated or created in a laboratory, this alexandrite has undergone no enhancement, and its vivid color intensity and natural origin make it a rare and valuable choice for both collectors and fine jewelry designers.

The unique inclusions inside this alexandrite are the hallmark of its natural origin, and they give the gem an unmistakable signature that sets it apart from synthetics and heavily treated stones. Look closely and you will see fine needle like silk, tiny crystal pockets, and delicate growth features that catch the light and add depth to each hue. These internal features are not flaws in the way that many buyers fear, they are proof that this gem formed slowly and naturally deep within the earth, and they create a three dimensional landscape that makes the color change feel alive. Where lab grown alexandrites often display curved growth lines and a sterility that betrays their origin, this Brazilian stone presents a complex and organic internal pattern that both gemologists and connoisseurs recognize as authentic, and those same inclusions contribute to a lively scintillation that enhances the mixed brilliant cut.

Comparing this alexandrite to others available on the market highlights several advantages in quality, value, and uniqueness. Russian alexandrite remains legendary for its color, and Sri Lankan and East African stones also have their fans, yet few natural pieces combine a strong, vivid color change with a generous weight of 2.27 carats and the clarity and polish seen in this example. Many commercial alexandrites are small, dark, or heavily included in ways that mute the color change, while some are heat treated or supplemented to improve appearance. This Brazilian stone, with its no enhancement status and excellent polish, delivers a truer and more desirable experience for buyers who value natural beauty over artificial perfection. The oval shape and mixed brilliant cut have been chosen to maximize perceived size and to optimize the color change in everyday lighting, so the gem looks lively whether set in a ring, pendant, or bespoke piece.

For those considering this alexandrite as an investment, a signature piece, or the centerpiece of an heirloom creation, the natural inclusions and provenance offer enduring appeal and certainty that mass market or synthetic alternatives cannot match. The slightly included clarity is practical, it allows the gem to retain strong brilliance while the internal features provide identity and personality, and the excellent polish ensures the gem reflects light cleanly and attractively. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize responsible sourcing and transparent descriptions, and we welcome inquiries from customers who wish to see additional images or a short video under different lighting conditions to appreciate the green to purple shift. This alexandrite is rare in its combination of carat weight, vivid color change, no enhancement, and a natural inclusion signature, making it a superior choice for discerning buyers who want a gem with character, beauty, and lasting value.
