1.00 Ct. Yellowish Green Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional yellowish green chrysoberyl carries the quiet majesty of gemstones that have been treasured across centuries, a gem whose origins in Ceylon speak to an ancient legacy of lapidary skill. Weighing 1.00 carat and measuring 6.26 x 8.09 x 2.43 millimeters, this fancy shaped stone is fully transparent, with intense color intensity that recalls the verdant light of tropical foliage. The faceted step cut is a classical choice that honors the stone and its provenance, while the clarity grade evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included ensures a clean appearance under normal wear. With an excellent polish and no enhancement, this chrysoberyl presents an authentic example of nature and craftsmanship in balance, a piece that will sit comfortably within traditional settings that prize subtlety and endurance. Collectors who revere gemstones with historical ties will recognize the timeless appeal of Ceylon chrysoberyl, a gem that has long been associated with refinement and lasting value.

The geometry of the step cut accentuates the inherent optical properties of chrysoberyl, converting internal color and clarity into measured planes of light and reflection that evolve as the stone moves. Broad, tiered facets act like a series of mirrored terraces, directing light in wide, luminous bands rather than in scattered scintillation, which enhances the gem s natural luster and reveals depth of color from multiple angles. Because this stone combines intense color with a very high clarity and an excellent polish, each step is able to reflect and return light with exceptional purity, producing a calm, elegant glow that complements both classic and heirloom designs. The controlled reflections of the step cut also emphasize the stone s architectural silhouette, making the fancy shape ideal for settings that celebrate symmetry and proportion. At The Natural Gemstone Company we value stones that carry story and structure, and this unenhanced Ceylon chrysoberyl is offered for those who seek a gemstone that will be worn and cherished across generations, a quiet heirloom that honors tradition, craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
