Alexandrite has long been celebrated as a jewel of transformation, prized by collectors and monarchs since the 19th century, and this Ceylon alexandrite from The Natural Gemstone Company carries that same timeless appeal. Formed deep within ancient geological processes, it embodies a lineage of natural artistry that speaks to those who value heritage and continuity. This translucent oval cabochon weighs 3.01 carat, with dimensions of 7.94 x 6.91 x 5.79 mm, and it displays the classic alexandrite color change from green under fluorescent light to a regal purple under incandescent light. The medium intense color intensity and excellent polish allow light to play across its surface, revealing soft internal textures and a gentle luster that honors traditional gem cutting techniques. The clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, a characteristic that affirms its natural origin and contributes to the stone's individual story, and there has been no enhancement, preserving the gem in its authentic Ceylon state.
Rarity in both size and color is the defining attribute of this alexandrite, and it is particularly uncommon to find a 3.01 carat cabochon with such a pleasing and balanced color change from Sri Lanka. Many alexandrites of similar origin are found in smaller sizes or with less pronounced shifts in hue, making this piece a rare candidate for an heirloom ring or a bespoke pendant that will be treasured for generations. The cabochon form enhances the stone's classic character, offering a smooth, domed surface that highlights the color transition and the gemological nuances unique to this specimen. For the connoisseur who seeks a gemstone that bridges history and modern provenance, The Natural Gemstone Company presents this alexandrite as a singular opportunity, a preserved fragment of geological time that can anchor a legacy piece. Consider this alexandrite for a setting that respects its heritage, and you will acquire not only a fine gem, but a living emblem of tradition and rarity.
