0.40 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Born deep in the storied alluvial fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this chrysoberyl began as a quiet promise hidden in river gravel, shaped by time and the island sun. Our local miners recognized the stone for its transparent clarity and its subtle greenish yellow hue, and it was selected for its clean crystal form and potential to become something brilliant. At 0.40 carat, with precise dimensions of 5.12 x 4.12 x 2.73 mm, this pear shape chrysoberyl carries the calm legacy of its origin, a light color intensity that whispers rather than shouts, and a natural transparency that required no enhancement. The journey from the mine to our bench at The Natural Gemstone Company is one of care, each step recorded and respected, ensuring that the character of Ceylon is preserved in every facet.

On the cutting table the stone was entrusted to an artisan skilled in maximizing optical performance, and it was fashioned into a pear shape with a mixed brilliant cut that unites the best of both worlds. The pavilion facets work in concert with the crown pattern to return light with lively scintillation, and the excellent polish allows every facet to catch and release light with crispness and contrast. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is graded very slightly included, inclusions that do not diminish the gem is lively brilliance, and instead offer a fingerprint of natural origin. With its mixed brilliant cut and this clarity profile, the chrysoberyl offers a sophisticated play of fire and flash, a centerpiece that anchors a collection and elevates a bespoke ring or pendant.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this gemstone as a finished treasure ready for custom setting or to be added to a collector collection, shown in images on a hand to convey scale, presence, and wearable elegance. The stone is ideal for a solitaire ring to emphasize the pear silhouette, or as the focal point in a delicate pendant where light can travel through the pavilion and reveal its nuanced greenish yellow palette. For designers and collectors who value provenance, craftsmanship, and enduring beauty, this chrysoberyl is a quiet celebration of nature and human skill, a small remarkable gem that commands attention through purity of cut and brilliance rather than size alone.
