Factors Affecting the Quality of Alexandrite Stone

According to Gem Experts, the primary factor for a Chrysoberyl to consider Alexandrite includes the brilliant colour-change effect or the Alexandrite effect. However, other quality factors determine the quality of this gemstone and based on these parameters, the value, quality, and authenticity of the gemstone can be evaluated. The parameters include:

Origin

• Alexandrite deposits in the Ural region in Russia were the only source for large and exceptional quality Alexandrites for quite a long time. Russia, being the first source of the finest and best quality Alexandrite, produced highly valuable Alexandrites in the market.
• Good specimens of original Alexandrite are also found in India, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Tanzania, Madagascar, and Myanmar (Burma). The Indian and Brazilian Alexandrite is the second most sought-after variety and it is relatively less expensive than Russian Alexandrite.

Colour

• Often described as ‘Emerald’ by day and ‘Ruby’ by night, the colour-changing phenomenon seen in Alexandrite is known as the ‘Alexandrite effect’. The colour-change effect is such that it exhibits a blue-green colour under natural daylight and a red/purplish-red or brownish-red colour under artificial yellow light.
• The intensity of the colour-changing effect determines Alexandrite gemstone price and quality. The higher the intensity and colour consistency, the more valuable Alexandrite. The Sri Lankan Alexandrite displays low colour consistency as compared to the Russian Alexandrite.

Clarity

• Alexandrite is a transparent, Type II clarity gemstone that displays visible flaws and inclusions. The inclusions in Alexandrite occur in the form of fingerprints, hollow tubes, rutile, and multi-phase inclusions. If these inclusions are present and visible, then it can drastically affect the Alexandrite quality.
• Faceted Alexandrite gemstones with commendable transparency and minimum eye-visible flaws are rare to find and the cost for such fine pieces of Alexandrite increases. Some specimens of Alexandrite create chatoyancy or cat’s eye effect, increasing the Alexandrite stone price.

Cut

Alexandrite is commonly fashioned into mixed cuts which include brilliant-cut crowns and step-cut pavilions. Due to its rarity, Alexandrite is faceted into kite shape, triangular shape whereas some specimens have concentric rows of parallel facets. However, it becomes challenging for gem cutters to give Alexandrite a perfect cut in order to show the strongest colour-change effect.

Carat Weight

An excellent quality Alexandrite that is over one carat is extremely rare and highly priced. In the jewellery industry, jewelers prefer Alexandrite which is small in size and less in weight.
