Description

This exceptional alexandrite specimen from the renowned Carnaíba Mine represents the rarest form of chrysoberyl. Known as "emerald by day, ruby by night," this remarkable gemstone displays dramatic color-changing properties - appearing reddish-purple under incandescent light and transforming to deep green in natural sunlight.

Carnaíba alexandrites have been intermittently produced since the early 1980s and are celebrated for their exceptional crystal sharpness and distinctive cyclic twinning formations. The characteristic deep coloration typical of this locality often requires strong illumination to fully appreciate the remarkable color-change effect, which occurs due to alexandrite's unique ability to transmit both green and red light equally.

This specimen represents a world-class example from one of Brazil's most important alexandrite-producing localities, making it an essential addition for collectors specializing in color-change minerals or premium Brazilian specimens.


Carnaiba mining district, Pindobaçu, Bahia, Brazil

Alexandrite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
