0.39 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine slipping a sunlit secret into a gift, a tiny promise of joy that catches the eye and holds the heart. This transparent 0.39 carat chrysoberyl, cut in a classic emerald shape, measures 5.21 by 3.27 by 2.22 mm, and glows with an intense yellowish green that feels at once fresh and timeless. Evaluated at eye level it is slightly included, a whisper of natural character that speaks to its authenticity, and it has an excellent polish that lets each facet sing. Born in Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and free from any enhancement, this gem carries the honest story of the earth and the skilled hands that shaped it. Picture it set in a ring or pendant, the clean lines of the emerald cut framing a luminous field of color, creating a memory you will smile at for years, a moment of delight every time light meets stone.

When you look for brilliance, chrysoberyl stands apart in ways that can surprise and thrill. Its adamantine lustre and high light return create a lively, glassy brightness that often appears more vivid than many common gems of similar size. Compared to beryl family stones such as emerald or aquamarine this chrysoberyl presents a sharper, more reflective presence, with facets that seem to pop with clarity and life. Versus peridot and quartz it offers stronger light performance and a cleaner sparkle, and while it will not rival the fiery dispersion of a diamond, it delivers a warmth and depth of color that diamonds cannot provide. The intense yellowish green hue is rich and saturated, and because there is no enhancement, that color is pure and natural, ready to become the centerpiece of an emotion filled gift. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select gems that create stories, and this petite emerald cut chrysoberyl is a perfect choice for someone who craves a rare, joyful glow that feels intimate, sincere, and endlessly wearable, a stone that transforms a moment into a keepsake.
