0.62 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This radiant yellowish green chrysoberyl from The Natural Gemstone Company is a statement of refined taste and confident individuality, a gem that reads as both contemporary and timeless. At 0.62 carat and measuring 4.96 by 4.48 by 2.58 millimeters, this transparent stone carries a concentrated presence that belies its modest size, thanks to a precise radiant cut that balances angular sophistication with lively fire. Compared with the more common yellow green options on the market, such as peridot and some green tourmalines, this chrysoberyl presents a cleaner, more saturated tone at medium color intensity, and a clarity that is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level. Those competing stones can be appealing, but many show surface reaching imperfections, lower hardness, or a tendency to dull more quickly with wear. This specimen stands apart because it combines a rare balance of hue, clarity and cut, offering a bold look without compromising practical wearability.

Technical quality is where this chrysoberyl really outshines alternatives, beginning with the radiant cut that maximizes return of light and emphasizes both the yellow and green facets within the stone, producing a fresh, bold color that reads as a symbol of personal power. The excellent polish creates mirror like facets that enhance brilliance and allow the color to breathe, while the very very slightly included clarity grade ensures that the stone reads clean to the eye, an advantage over many green gems that require treatments or have noticeable inclusions at similar sizes. Importantly this gem has no enhancement, which preserves its natural character and long term stability, an advantage over heat treated or irradiated gems that can display altered appearance or uncertain longevity. Chrysoberyl also rates higher in hardness and toughness than peridot and many tourmalines, which means it resists surface wear and chipping in settings intended for daily wear. For customers comparing value, the combination of natural origin, lack of enhancement, excellent polish, and the protective benefits of chrysoberyl mineralogy adds up to a durable investment that maintains its presence over time.

Beyond the technical merits the color itself speaks to a sense of authority and distinction, a rich bold yellowish green that conveys energy without shouting, and that becomes an expression of personal power when set against warm metals or cool white metals depending on mood. Where a bright lime peridot can appear playful and a yellow sapphire can project sunny exuberance, this chrysoberyl offers a refined middle ground, a green with golden depth that reads as confident and distinctive. The radiant cut gives the stone an architectural feel, which suits minimalist modern settings and classic solitaire designs equally well, allowing it to function as a signature accent for both daytime confidence and evening presence. For those who want a gem that communicates individuality and quiet strength, this chrysoberyl is superior to many mass market alternatives because it retains a clear, natural tone, it reflects light with engineered precision, and it wears with a level of resilience that supports frequent use rather than occasional display.

When you factor in provenance and provenance related desirability, the origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka adds another layer of appeal, as stones from that region are known for their refined color palette and careful local lapidary tradition. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this chrysoberyl as part of a curated selection, and our reputation is built on selecting stones that combine natural integrity with aesthetic power. In a market where treatments and synthetics are increasingly common, a natural untreated chrysoberyl with excellent polish and very very slightly included clarity offers superior value, because you are purchasing an authentic mineral expression that will age gracefully and maintain its optical character. If you are weighing options and seeking an elevated alternative to more ubiquitous yellow green gems, consider the enduring advantages of this radiant chrysoberyl, a gem that acts as both a wearable jewel and a personal emblem of distinction.
