1.00 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One translucent oval chrysoberyl weighing 1.00 carat, presenting dimensions of 6.33 x 5.44 x 3.18 mm, fashioned as a smooth cabochon. The gem offers a medium intense brown body color, an even tone across the dome, and an excellent polish that enhances surface luster. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, with modest internal features that do not detract from overall visual appeal when set. The cabochon displays a pronounced linear band of reflected light traversing the dome, a chatoyant effect that is well aligned with the oval axis and contributes to a crisp, attractive banding. No enhancement has been applied, and the material is of Ceylon origin, sourced from Sri Lanka.

From a gemological standpoint this chrysoberyl benefits from notable durability and suitability for everyday wear, given chrysoberyl hardness around eight and a half on the Mohs scale and a stable crystalline structure. The combination of cabochon cutting, clean polish, and chatoyancy makes it particularly well suited for bezel or partial bezel settings where the dome and light band can be showcased, and for pieces where impact protection is desired. Care recommendations include routine gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners that may stress any surface setting. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this natural, untreated brown chrysoberyl offers a balanced mix of optical interest and practical wearability, suitable for collectors and designers seeking a well finished cabochon with clear provenance and precise dimensions.
