0.42 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A single, rare chrysoberyl awaits the collector who understands true refinement, a transparent 0.42 carat emerald cut gem, measuring 4.78 x 3.51 x 2.55 mm, born in the storied mining districts of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a place revered for producing stones of exceptional character. This yellowish green chrysoberyl carries a medium light color intensity that is both delicate and distinguished, a hue that sits somewhere between sunlit lemon and fresh leaf, lending it a versatile and timeless elegance. The emerald cut has been chosen to celebrate the crystal clarity and internal calm of this stone, its long, clean facets creating a table of serene transparency, while the precise step cuts reveal a measured play of light that feels composed rather than showy. Each facet has been executed with excellent polish, enhancing the stone in every direction, the edges crisp, the planes smooth, the overall silhouette refined. The provenance from Ceylon contributes not only history but also a sense of provenance that discerning owners appreciate, a signature of natural origin and geological storytelling that numbers and measurements alone cannot convey.

To the unaided eye this chrysoberyl is effectively eye clean, graded very slightly included at eye level, and in everyday wear it presents as virtually flawless, a complexion that elevates its presence on the hand or in bespoke jewelry. The minimal inclusions nestle unobtrusively within the pavilion, they do not interrupt the gemscape, and in fact they serve as quiet proof of natural formation, a subtle assurance of authenticity. The excellent polish magnifies the stone body color with crystalline clarity, allowing light to travel through the emerald cut steps and return as a soft, luminous glow, every tilt revealing a new facet of its personality. From the crown view the table opens into an inviting pool of yellowish green, while from the profile and pavilion the step facets create rhythmic bands of light and shadow, giving the gem dimensional depth that reads as both sophisticated and lively. The medium light intensity means this chrysoberyl performs beautifully in a variety of settings and lighting conditions, it will flatter warm gold and cool platinum equally, and its transparency allows it to be the star of the design rather than a background note.

Pieces such as this are not common, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we present this single chrysoberyl as an opportunity to claim something truly singular, an object for a private collection, a bespoke engagement accent, or an heirloom destined to be cherished across generations. There has been no enhancement to this stone, it is offered in its natural state, a pure expression of Sri Lankan geology and masterful lapidary work. When mounted the proportions of the emerald cut will lend themselves to elegant solitaire rings, minimalist pendants, or as a finely cut center for a custom stud, its compact dimensions making it a refined choice for jewelry that values proportion and poise. Owning this gem places you among a select few who prioritize natural rarity, eye clean appearance, and classical cutting, a small circle of collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate stones that speak softly but unmistakably of quality. Our team at The Natural Gemstone Company has carefully selected and prepared this chrysoberyl to ensure its presentation is worthy of its origin and beauty, we welcome inquiries for bespoke settings and secure acquisition, and we look forward to assisting a new owner in making this exceptional chrysoberyl the centerpiece of a personal legacy.
