0.87 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company proudly presents an exquisite addition to our collection: a captivating 0.87 carat oval-shaped brown chrysoberyl. This gemstone boasts dimensions of 5.81 x 4.99 x 3.17 mm, offering a robust presence while maintaining a delicate silhouette. Its transparent nature allows for a fascinating interaction with light, inherent to the cabochon cut that enhances its natural allure. The precision involved in crafting a cabochon cut gemstone is unparalleled, as it focuses on the smooth curvature of the stone, allowing its transparency and rich brown hues to take center stage.

The reflective properties of this chrysoberyl are particularly noteworthy when compared to others in its category. Unlike faceted cuts that often rely on angular precision to disperse light, the cabochon enhances soft glow and luster, offering a continuous and even distribution of illumination across its surface. This results in a serene and constant play of light, differentiating itself from the sharper reflections seen in similarly colored gemstones like brown garnet or andalusite. Such subtle reflectivity makes this chrysoberyl an excellent choice for those who appreciate understated elegance in their gemstone collections.

Color grading in gemstones is a detail-oriented process, and this chrysoberyl stands out with its medium intense color intensity. When compared to other gemstones within the same color spectrum, it showcases a warmth and depth, capturing the eye with its rich, inviting shades. The medium intense color is expertly complemented by the excellent polish that has brought forth a captivating surface shine. Our skilled artisans have honed their craft, ensuring the gemstone exhibits a level of elegance and sophistication appreciated by connoisseurs of fine stones.

Chrysoberyl's reputation for clarity is further supported by this particular stone's grade of very slightly included, as evaluated at eye level. This means that while minor inclusions may be present, they do not detract from the stone's brilliance and allure. Such inclusions are comparable to minor imperfections found in natural stones, which often add a unique character rather than detract from value. In fine gemstone craftsmanship, achieving this balance of clarity and color intensity requires significant expertise, which The Natural Gemstone Company’s jewelers continuously strive to perfect.

Finally, it is imperative to highlight the rich heritage linked to the origin of this chrysoberyl. Sourced from the renowned mines of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, the stone carries a storied legacy of quality and prestige. Ceylon is known for producing gemstones of unparalleled quality, and this chrysoberyl is no exception. Rich in both cultural tradition and natural beauty, it embodies the distinctive characteristics associated with this illustrious region. By selecting this chrysoberyl, discerning buyers not only invest in a fine jewel but also capture a piece of history, connecting their collection to the time-honored practices celebrated by The Natural Gemstone Company.
