GFCO Certified 2.28Ct Natural Alexandrite
The Collector’s Investment: 2.28 Carat Untreated Natural Alexandrite
In the world of high-end gemology, "Alexandrite" is a term often used, but rarely found in this physical reality. This 2.28-carat specimen represents one of the most significant "hard assets" available in the 2026 market, specifically because it crosses the critical 2-carat threshold where supply virtually disappears.
Unmatched Rarity & Integrity
While many modern gemstones are "enhanced" through heating or oiling to hide flaws, this stone is 100% Untreated. Its value is derived from its geological purity—a "one-in-a-million" occurrence where beryllium and chromium met in the Earth's crust under perfect conditions to create a crystal this size. In an era of lab-grown alternatives, an untreated, natural stone of this weight is a definitive Collector’s Item.
Masterful Precision
A gem is only as good as its finish. This stone has Excellent Cut, Polish, and Symmetry. Its Cushion Cut was engineered specifically to maximize light return and weight retention, resulting in a large 7.71 x 6.84 mm "face" that provides the visual impact of a much larger stone.
This stone displays an authentic, sophisticated color shift:
* In Daylight: A crisp, elegant Brownish-Yellow-Green.
* In Incandescent Light: A warm, vibrant Orange-Brown.
This specific shift is a hallmark of premium deposits, offering a unique brilliance that sets it apart from standard varieties.
* Weight: 2.28 Carats
* Type: 100% Natural Chrysoberyl (Alexandrite)
* Clarity: Transparent
* Treatment: None (Untreated)
* Report: GFCO #AAP42743
A rare, portable treasure and a generational heirloom for the discerning investor.
