48.02 ct Carved Natural Alexandrite Chameleon

About the Item

An extraordinary 48.02 ct Alexandrite carving, meticulously shaped into the form of a chameleon. Alexandrite, known for its remarkable color-changing properties, holds a rich historical significance. Discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 19th century, this gemstone was named in honor of the Russian tsar Alexander II. The skilled carver behind this carving have brought the chameleon to life with exquisite attention to detail. Each curve and contour has been carefully sculpted, capturing the essence of this fascinating creature. The masterful carving technique showcases the intricate scales, the chameleon's expressive eyes, and the graceful pose, lending a sense of realism and artistry to this unique gemstone masterpiece. Carving Alexandrite requires exceptional skill and precision due to its hardness and rarity. The artisan has expertly utilized the gemstone's natural color-changing properties to create a captivating visual effect. As the carving catches the light, the Alexandrite transitions between vibrant green and alluring purplish-red, creating a mesmerizing display of colors that mimic the chameleon's adaptive nature.
