0.67 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 0.67 carat cushion shaped yellowish green chrysoberyl measures 5.07 by 4.83 by 2.93 millimeters, and is fashioned in a mixed brilliant style, with a brilliant cut crown paired to a faceted step pavilion, producing a disciplined interplay of scintillation and broad flashes. The cutter has prioritized a modest table and slightly deeper pavilion to optimize return of light given the medium intense body color, and the excellent polish accentuates facet junctions and window control. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, with small natural crystals that do not detract from overall brightness and are largely masked by the strategic facet architecture. This specimen is unenhanced and of Sri Lankan origin, delivering natural freshness of tone associated with Ceylon chrysoberyls, while the material benefits from chrysoberyl s high refractive index, approximately 1.746 to 1.755, and a hardness of 8.5 on the Mohs scale, which together ensure lively optical performance and robust wearability for daily jewelry.

Compared to famous gemstones in history, this yellowish green chrysoberyl offers a compact, wearable luminosity that recalls the commanding presence of the Tiffany Yellow Diamond in terms of visual impact, while retaining the combed transparency and crystalline clarity prized in classic Ceylon sapphires. It also evokes the storied chrysoberyls of the 19th century Russian collections, minus the color change phenomenon, delivering instead a steady, medium intense green that sits comfortably between the citrus of an imperial peridot and the richer olive shown in museum chrysoberyls. What sets this stone apart is the combination of exacting cutting, natural unenhanced color, and Ceylon provenance, which together create a stone with a refined, museum quality character in a modest 0.67 carat package. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this cushion chrysoberyl is ideal for a bezel or low profile prong setting where its proportions and durability can be fully appreciated, and it will serve discerning buyers who value precise cutting geometry, truthful origin, and natural, untreated beauty.
