A GIA Alexandrite Origin Report doesn't get issued lightly — this 1.13-carat pear carries one, confirming Russian origin on paper as well as in the color itself. The change reads decisive rather than hesitant: a true blue-green in daylight giving way to a pinkish purple under incandescent light, the kind of full-strength shift the deposit is famous for. Crown cut brilliant, pavilion a modified brilliant, the faceting is built to carry light through both color states rather than favor one over the other. Semi-transparent to translucent in the lab's own language — the kind of texture that reads as authentic, untreated Ural material rather than a stone selected purely for eye-clean photography. At just over 7.5mm long, it has real presence on the hand for its weight.
