3.51 Ct. Alexandrite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 3.51 carat heart shape alexandrite presents dimensions of 9.25 x 10.33 x 5.21 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this gem displays a classic alexandrite color change, shifting from greenish tones in daylight to orangish tones under incandescent light, with medium color intensity that remains balanced and pleasing in a range of lighting conditions. The clarity grade is eye clean, evaluated at eye level, allowing the stone to reveal its internal structure and optical effects without visible inclusions to the unaided eye. No enhancement has been applied, assuring that the material is entirely natural and untreated, and the combination of transparency, precise cutting, and surface finish contributes to a lively, controlled play of color and fire.

Over time the natural beauty of this alexandrite will continue to captivate due to its inherent material properties and quality of craftsmanship. As a variety of chrysoberyl, alexandrite is noted for its hardness and resistance to wear, features that support long term use in fine jewelry and daily wear applications with appropriate care. The durable polish and well executed mixed brilliant facets preserve light return and color dynamics as the gem moves and changes lighting environments, ensuring the subtle green to orange transition remains expressive for years. Regular gentle cleaning with mild soap and a soft brush restores surface luster without compromising the stone, and occasional professional inspection of settings will maintain security and presentation. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this alexandrite as a natural, untreated specimen, accompanied by detailed measurements and grading observations, offering a gemstone that combines documented origin, clarity, cut, and polish, with a color change phenomenon that continues to engage and reward attentive appreciation over time.
