0.61 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing an exquisite piece from The Natural Gemstone Company, this stunning 0.61 carat round-shaped greenish-yellow chrysoberyl hails from the renowned gem mines of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Known for producing some of the world's most captivating gemstones, Ceylon offers a rich tradition akin to historical treasures such as the Kashmir sapphires and Golconda diamonds. Our chrysoberyl boasts an intense color intensity, a defining characteristic appreciated by gem enthusiasts for its vivid allure. The stone measures 5.07 x 5.06 x 2.53 mm, displaying an eye-clean clarity grade that allows its inherent beauty to shine without visible inclusions to the naked eye.

The cabochon cut of this chrysoberyl, with its smooth, domed surface, enhances its depth of color and creates a mesmerizing play of light. Unlike the conventional faceted cuts, the cabochon style is cherished for emphasizing the natural form and hue of the stone, reminiscent of the cabochon historic moonstones and opals which capture the essence and authenticity of their origins. With an excellent polish, this chrysoberyl reflects light with remarkable brilliance, comparable to the famed ancient Olmec jade or even Cleopatra’s much-adored emeralds, each known for their timeless appeal and exceptional craftsmanship.

In the realm of gemstones, chrysoberyl holds its unique value as a rare and durable gem, ranking 8.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, ensuring longevity alongside its captivating aesthetic. Its striking greenish-yellow hue and translucence offer uniqueness, much like the mysterious allure of the Hope Diamond, making it a prized possession for those with nuanced taste. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we take pride in sourcing ethically and ensure that each gem celebrates both its geological wonders and our commitment to quality. This chrysoberyl represents not only a piece of earth’s artistry but a legacy of geological splendor, making it a compelling and timeless choice for the discerning collector.
