0.86 Ct. Green Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that adorn the body, and then there are gemstones that define an identity. This transparent 0.86 carat oval green chrysoberyl from Ceylon, Sri Lanka is the latter, a rare and singular treasure that speaks to a refined eye and decisive taste. At first glance the gem presents a vivid and intense green, a hue that is both leafy and luminous, with a depth that is rarely found in stones of this size. Compared to the more commonly seen lighter greens and pastel tones, this chrysoberyl holds an uncommon saturation and clarity, giving it a presence that reads as both modern and timeless. When set upon the hand, as shown in our images, the stone appears larger than its carat weight might suggest, thanks to its precise proportions and cut, making this piece an extraordinary choice for someone who wishes to wear distinction with effortless elegance.

Measured at 6.37 x 5.20 x 3.74 mm and finished in a mixed brilliant cut, this chrysoberyl has been fashioned to maximize its internal fire and scintillation. The mixed brilliant style allows for a lively play of light across both the crown and pavilion facets, producing flashes of brilliance that animate the intense green from every angle. The clarity is classified as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem is virtually pristine to the naked eye, offering a clean window into the stone with only the most minute inclusions visible under careful inspection. Its excellent polish contributes to an impeccable surface glow, and the fact that this gem has received no enhancements confirms that its vibrant color and clarity are entirely natural. For collectors and connoisseurs who understand the language of quality, these details mark this chrysoberyl as an exemplar among its peers.

Rarity in the gemstone world is defined by a confluence of factors, and this green chrysoberyl commands attention because it embodies rarity on multiple axes. In terms of color intensity, the saturated green here is significantly less common than the paler grassy tones that frequently appear in market specimens. In terms of size and proportions, an oval that balances 0.86 carat with such generous visual spread and well controlled depth is inherently uncommon, especially when coupled with the transparency and polish exhibited. For clients considering alternatives, similar stones often require trade offs between color and clarity, or between size and brilliance. This chrysoberyl does not ask the buyer to compromise. It offers a rare harmony of richly saturated hue, exceptional transparency, and sculpted cut, a combination that elevates the stone beyond mere jewelry into the realm of objet d art.
