Alexandrite

Gemologist’s Note
This alexandrite is an exceptional example of old-mine Ural material from Malyshevo — a genuinely rare find at 6.99 ct, a weight seldom seen in Russian alexandrite of this quality. The color change is strong and well-defined across both light sources, and clarity is notably good for the material at this size, where larger alexandrites typically carry more visible inclusions. Cut as a modified octagonal with a step-cut crown and brilliant-cut pavilion, an uncommon cutting style for the material. Origin and species are confirmed by GIA Alexandrite Origin Report, Russia.
