0.40 Ct. Greenish Yellow Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

It is a rare pleasure to present a truly exceptional piece from The Natural Gemstone Company, a transparent 0.40 carat pear shape chrysoberyl in a beguiling greenish yellow, sourced from the storied gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka. This is not a mass produced stone but a singular opportunity to own an elegant and refined gemstone that speaks to a cultivated eye, a private collection, or a bespoke commission. The combination of its delicate hue and pear silhouette creates an understated yet unmistakable presence, perfect for a client who seeks something both uncommon and quietly luxurious. Each facet of this gem has been evaluated with care, and its origin and natural state are part of its narrative, making it a jewel that will not only complement jewelry designs but also serve as a conversation piece that denotes discernment and taste.

Measured at 5.12 x 4.12 x 2.73 millimeters and weighing 0.40 carat, this chrysoberyl has been expertly faceted with a mixed brilliant cut to maximize light return while preserving the stone s character and proportions. The pear shape presents a graceful taper that elongates the finger when set in a ring, or draws the eye when hung as a pendant, while the mixed brilliant faceting pattern balances scintillation and fire to produce a lively but refined display. The clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning that the inclusions do not distract from the gem s overall beauty, they merely attest to its natural formation and authenticity. The color intensity is light, lending the stone an airy, elegant presence that can be styled for both daytime sophistication and evening refinement. The polish is excellent, and importantly the gemstone is free of enhancements, a natural treasure in the truest sense.

On the Mohs scale its hardness is 8.5, a level that places chrysoberyl above many common jewelry gems and a step below sapphire which ranks at 9, and well above topaz which is rated at 8, and quartz which sits at 7. This superior hardness means that chrysoberyl resists scratches and abrasion far better than many other colored stones, offering practical durability for daily wear when set appropriately. Because of this property the stone is an excellent candidate for an engagement ring, a signature ring, or a piece of jewelry that is intended to be worn frequently, while still maintaining its polished facets and lively surface over time. While chrysoberyl is robust, like all fine gems it benefits from sensible care, gentle cleaning, and secure setting to protect its girdle and point, and as with all natural materials it should be kept away from strong blows and extreme thermal shock to preserve its long term beauty.
