These natural alexandrite rough crystals are offered from a carefully selected higher quality parcel, chosen for crystal form, colour response and collector appeal. Available by exact weight, each piece is selected from genuine natural crystal rough rather than generic mixed grade parcel material, with many showing the subtle colour change and internal glow that make alexandrite so sought after.

This material comes from Serra da Carnaíba de Cima and Serra da Carnaíba de Baixo in Bahia, Brazil, part of one of the classic alexandrite producing regions. Smaller and thinner pieces in this parcel often show especially lively colour change, with stronger transmitted red and purplish tones, while larger examples tend to be valued more for crystal form, definition and relative rarity for collectors.

Metaphysical properties

Alexandrite is often associated with change, balance and inner clarity, perhaps reflecting its unusual ability to show different colours in different lighting. Many people value it as a crystal linked with perspective, adaptability and emotional insight.
