0.79 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The 0.79 carat oval chrysoberyl offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a testament to both natural beauty and expert craftsmanship. With dimensions of 5.11 x 4.85 x 3.18 mm, this exquisite stone boasts an ideal harmony between size and cut, showcasing the gemologist's precision. The cabochon cut has been meticulously applied to this chrysoberyl, lending it a smooth, domed surface that enhances its innate translucence and allows light to dance upon its surface with a mesmerizing effect. This choice of cut is particularly advantageous for a semi-transparent gemstone, as it accentuates the stone's medium intense color intensity, a greenish-yellow hue that is both vibrant and soothing. This quality is reminiscent of the famed chrysoberyl varieties that have been celebrated throughout history, such as the legendary Ceylon stones that have often been compared to the treasures of the regalia of ancient monarchs.

Comparatively, this chrysoberyl holds its own against illustrious historical gemstones by offering unique attributes that distinguish it from others. While one may recall the unmatched depth of color found in the Burmese rubies or the brilliance of the Golconda diamonds, this Ceylonese chrysoberyl presents an alluring alternative with its distinctive color palette and visual accessibility. The clarity grade is very slightly included when assessed at eye level, confirming the gemstone’s superior quality while retaining the natural characteristics that define its authenticity. This clarity ensures that minor inclusions are barely perceptible and do not detract from the aesthetic, instead adding a touch of natural uniqueness that collectors often admire.

Originating from the renowned gemstone mines of Ceylon, or modern-day Sri Lanka, the chrysoberyl exemplifies the finesse and rarity associated with stones from this historic region. Well-documented for its gemstone production, Ceylon has contributed significantly to the world's finest gemstone collections, offering stones with notable brilliance and robust hues. This provenance not only enhances the chrysoberyl's valued status among dealers and collectors but also assures the gemstone’s outstanding legacy. The excellent polish achieved by the artisans at The Natural Gemstone Company fortifies the gem's refined presentation, allowing the full breadth of its qualities to be appreciated by a connoisseur. In comparison to the storied historical gems, this chrysoberyl offers a harmonious balance of modern elegance and historical prestige, making it a prized possession for any gemstone aficionado.
