Across the centuries, gemstones have carried stories and status from ancient courts to modern galleries, and this yellowish green chrysoberyl is no exception. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this transparent 1.01 carat oval gem evokes a lineage of treasured stones prized for durability and brilliance, a legacy rooted in natural formation and careful cutting rather than modern alteration. Sourced from Madagascar, a land known for yielding some of the finest chrysoberyls, this gem displays a medium color intensity that is both subtle and noble, a hue that reads as serene in candlelight and radiant in daylight. The combination of its classic oval silhouette and historic mineral pedigree makes it an heirloom ready to be set and passed along, a piece that honors tradition while remaining of the moment.
What gives this chrysoberyl its unmatched sparkle is its crystalline character and the skilled geometry of its mixed brilliant cut, which balances step facets with brilliant facets to maximize light return. Chrysoberyl crystallizes in an orthorhombic system with a high refractive index and an adamantine luster, properties that allow facets to return light with exceptional clarity and life. Polished to an excellent finish, and graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the stone measures 6.85 by 5.22 by 3.41 mm, and its clarity and polish let the internal structure play with light rather than obscure it. With no enhancement, the color and brilliance you see are entirely natural, an unaltered dialogue between mineral and master cutter. At a hardness of about eight and a half on the Mohs scale, chrysoberyl resists wear while maintaining a mirror like polish, so the crispness of its facets will endure. For those who appreciate provenance, purity, and a brilliance born of nature and expert cutting, this Madagascar chrysoberyl from The Natural Gemstone Company offers a timeless presence and a sparkle that feels singular in both historical context and contemporary settings.
