12.73 Ct. Beryl from Madagascar

This offering is a single, transparent yellowish green beryl of 12.73 carats, cut in a classic cushion shape with dimensions of 16.12 x 12.15 x 9.62 millimeters. The stone has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances large facets for color retention with smaller facets for controlled scintillation. Clarity is graded as eye clean at eye level, and color intensity is described as medium light, a presence that reads as subtle yet distinctly green with warm yellow hints. The surface finish is of excellent polish, and the gem has received no enhancement, confirming its natural state and inherent character. The origin is Madagascar, and the nominal toughness of beryl, ranging from 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, makes this gem suitable for a range of wearable styles when set with appropriate protection.

The Natural Gemstone Company sources this beryl from Madagascar through a vetted supply chain that prioritizes traceability and responsible procurement. Each step from mine to client is documented to the extent possible, and the purchase is supported by information about origin and treatment status, reflecting our commitment to transparency. We work with local partners and independent contributors to verify that extraction follows local regulatory requirements, and that workers receive fair compensation. The no enhancement status of this gemstone is confirmed through standard gemological examination, providing assurance that the color and clarity observed are intrinsic to the material and not the result of treatment.

For the conscious consumer this beryl presents a considered choice, combining verifiable origin, untreated natural beauty, and robust physical properties suitable for enduring wear. Its cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut make it adaptable to solitaire and halo settings, as well as bespoke pieces that highlight natural color and clarity. The combination of eye clean clarity and excellent polish supports designs that emphasize transparency and light return, while the medium light color intensity offers versatility across both modern and classic palettes. Routine care involves gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and avoidance of harsh chemicals or prolonged heat exposure, and mounting choices that protect the girdle and corners will extend usable life. This gem is offered through The Natural Gemstone Company with accompanying documentation of origin and treatment status, intended to support mindful acquisition by collectors and designers who prioritize transparency and ethical sourcing.
