Octagonal Shape Alexandrite 1.07 | The Rare Gem

This 1.07 carat Alexandrite stands out immediately for its rare octagonal shape, a cut that is exceptionally difficult to find in Alexandrite due to the way the rough typically forms. Most gemstone dealers seek to maintain maximum weights by avoiding sharper cuts. Typical gems are found in oval and cushion and are still rare. But Stones like this are not commonly produced, making the shape itself a key part of its rarity and collector appeal. The color is where this gem truly comes alive. In daylight, it shows a bright, lively green with an open face that allows the color to spread evenly across the stone. Under warmer lighting, it shifts to a soft purplish tone, creating the classic Alexandrite transformation that continues to draw attention from both new buyers and seasoned collectors. What makes this piece special is not just the presence of color change, but how clean, bright, and visible that change is. The stone does not appear dark or closed off; instead, it remains lively in both lighting environments. Combined with its uncommon shape and balanced size, this Alexandrite offers something increasingly hard to source in today’s market. GIA Certified so you know the gem is 100% Natural.
