0.87 Ct. Greenish Yellow Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

This transparent 0.87 carat oval chrysoberyl measures 5.91 x 5.07 x 4.20 mm, and it carries a mixed brilliant cut that has been executed to maximize scintillation and color return. The gem displays a pleasing greenish yellow hue with medium color intensity, and an excellent polish that enhances luster and facet contrast. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, a realistic and common characteristic in natural chrysoberyl that does not impair optical performance, and which can often be seen as a fingerprint of authenticity compared with laboratory grown material. No enhancement has been applied, a factor that adds to value for collectors who seek untreated stones. Chrysoberyl is prized for its high refractive index and excellent hardness, attributes that deliver lively brilliance and durability for daily wear, and this specimen, with its balanced proportions and well executed crown and pavilion, offers an elegant small center stone option for fine jewelry settings.

The journey of this stone begins in Tanzania where skilled miners recovered the rough crystal from a pegmatitic pocket, recognizing its tight crystal habit and natural transparency. The rough was parceled and sent to a cutter with experience in chrysoberyl, who chose a mixed brilliant design to preserve weight while creating a broad table for color presentation. During cutting, minor internal features were oriented so they would be less conspicuous to the naked eye, and multiple polishing passes achieved the excellent finish you now see. After cutting, the gem underwent careful examination and grading, confirming its slightly included clarity at eye level, its medium color intensity, and the absence of treatment. At The Natural Gemstone Company we document provenance, dimensions, carat weight, and grading observations, and we provide professional photography to show true appearance under daylight balanced lighting. This gem is offered to buyers who appreciate verified natural material, and who value a stone that combines attractive color, solid optical performance, and practical durability. For connoisseurs seeking a distinctive greenish yellow chrysoberyl with honest grading and a traceable path from mine to market, this piece represents a well considered acquisition, and our team is available to advise on settings and certification if desired.
