3.18 Ct. Alexandrite from Brazil

This 3.18 carat oval alexandrite from Brazil offered by The Natural Gemstone Company stands apart from many stones commonly found on the market, because it pairs true color change with natural, untreated origin, because it offers substantial size and a fine cut, and because its eye appeal is immediate. Measuring 10.87 by 7.85 by 5.16 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, this gem delivers bright, lively faceting that enhances both its greenish blue tones under fluorescent lighting and its purple to red hues under incandescent lighting. Compared with typical alexandrites that are smaller, heavily included, or have been heat treated or dyed to improve appearance, this stone is notable for its vivid color intensity, for being transparent and mostly clean at eye level with only slight inclusions, and for the absence of any enhancement. Where many alternate choices such as common green gemstones or lab treated color changers offer predictable color, this natural Brazilian alexandrite gives a genuine, dramatic shift that is rarer and more compelling in person, offering more depth and complexity than standard commercial gems.

Owning this alexandrite is an investment in beauty and craftsmanship, because its intrinsic qualities translate directly into lasting desirability and potential collector interest. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish demonstrate the care taken to maximize brilliance and optical performance, making the gem ideal for a standout ring or heirloom pendant, and the slightly included clarity grade means the gem retains natural character without compromising sparkle or durability. As an untreated color change alexandrite of substantial carat weight from a respected source, it occupies a stronger position in the market than many altered or small stones, combining rarity with polish and proportional dimensions that suit refined settings. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize provenance and honest grading, because a well cut, naturally colored alexandrite like this not only offers immediate visual return, it also embodies artisanal skill and geological rarity that collectors and connoisseurs value over time, making it both a personal treasure and a prudent addition to a curated gemstone collection.
