✨Natural Color-Change Alexandrite Crystal on Matrix from Urals, Russia ✨ For Sale

✨ Natural Color-Change Alexandrite Crystal on Matrix – 8.207 Grams – Malyshevo, Ural Mountains, Russia ✨
Presenting a striking natural color-change Alexandrite crystal on matrix, sourced from the renowned Malyshevo deposit in the Ural Mountains of Russia — the historic birthplace of alexandrite, where the gem was first discovered and named.
This piece showcases a natural alexandrite crystal set on its native host rock, displaying the dramatic color-change effect that has made alexandrite one of the rarest and most sought-after gemstones in the world.
🔹 Color Change Phenomenon:
• Green in natural daylight
• Pinkish-purple under artificial (yellow) light — such as candlelight or incandescent lamps
This striking transformation is the hallmark of true alexandrite and is clearly visible in this raw specimen.
🔹 Origin:
• Malyshevo deposit, Ural Mountains, Russia
• One of the most historic and prestigious sources of alexandrite worldwide
🔹 Crystal & Matrix Details:
• Natural, uncut alexandrite crystal embedded in original host rock (mica schist)
• Raw and untouched — a geological collector’s piece
• 100% natural, with no treatment or enhancement
📏 Measurements:
• Size: 30 × 20 × 11 mm
• Weight: 8.207 grams
💎 Hardness: 8.5 (Mohs scale) – durable and ideal for display or long-term preservation.
🔍 Why This Specimen Stands Out:
• True Russian origin — not synthetic or lab-grown
• Strong, visible color change under correct lighting
• Natural crystal on matrix — increasingly difficult to find, especially from Russia
⸻
