4.16 Ct. Cabochon Alexandrite from Madagascar

One beautiful translucent 4.16 carat oval shape alexandrite from Madagascar, measuring 7.85 by 7.48 by 7.25 mm, presents a captivating yellowish green to reddish green color change that is the hallmark of true alexandrite. The gem is cabochon cut, with a smooth domed surface that emphasizes its internal glow and color shift, and it displays a medium intense color intensity with an excellent polish that reflects light cleanly across the dome. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is eye clean, showing no visible inclusions to the unaided eye, which allows the rich tones and subtle color shift to take center stage. This piece is untreated, no enhancement, preserving its natural character and value for collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize provenance and integrity.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this alexandrite as a versatile and rare specimen that will make an exceptional center stone for a custom ring, an elegant pendant, or a collector cabinet piece where color changing minerals are celebrated. The cabochon form and translucent body allow for soft, mood dependent shifts in hue, which will appear more green in daylight and more reddish under incandescent lighting, offering a private performance that changes with the wearer and the environment. We recommend settings that protect the domed surface while allowing ample light, such as bezel or low profile halo mounts for rings, or a secure pendant cup that shows off the color change. For care, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and store separately to prevent scratches. If you would like additional images under specific lighting, suggestions for complementary metals and designs, or a certificate of origin, our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to assist with measurements, secure shipping, and bespoke mounting options to bring this unique Madagascar alexandrite into your personal collection.
