1.02 Ct. Yellowish Green Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

This specimen is a transparent 1.02 carat chrysoberyl, cut to an emerald shape with precise step faceting, and presented in the classic rectangular outline with softened, truncated corners. The cutting dimensions measure 5.36 by 5.02 by 4.27 millimeters, yielding a length to width ratio of approximately 1.07, and a depth to average dimension ratio of approximately 82 percent. Those proportions produce an authoritative face up presence for a one carat stone, concentrating the medium intensity yellowish green body color while maintaining controlled light return through parallel step facets. The emerald cut emphasizes large, plane facets and a dominant table, and in this example the facet junctions are sharp, the facet planes are flat and even, and the excellent polish contributes to crisp internal reflections and well defined facet contrast, qualities that seasoned gem buyers will immediately recognize as markers of superior lapidary execution.

Clarity is graded as slightly included evaluated at eye level, which in this material translates to minor internal features that are noticeable under direct inspection but do not interrupt the overall transparency or brilliance of the gem. For collectors and set designers, this clarity grade combined with the transparent body offers an attractive balance between natural character and visual cleanliness, allowing the characteristic chrysoberyl luster to dominate. The medium color intensity is an evenly distributed yellowish green, free from artificial saturation, and the stone is confirmed to be unenhanced with natural color. Origin is Tanzania, a source known for producing high quality chrysoberyl with stable, pleasing hues. Taken together, the 1.02 carat weight, the unenhanced natural color, and the Tanzanian provenance elevate this piece into a premium bracket, because fully transparent chrysoberyl in this size and color is comparatively scarce and therefore of particular interest to connoisseurs who value natural, finely cut stones.

From a practical and design perspective, the 1.02 carat weight positions this chrysoberyl as an ideal centerpiece for refined jewelry, where both the gemometry of the emerald cut and the medium color intensity can be showcased. The modest rectangular proportions and deep pavilion require a setting that displays the table cleanly, prong settings with well engineered seats or a partial bezel that preserves the step facet architecture are recommended. Metal choices such as warm 18 karat yellow gold will complement the yellowish green tonality, while platinum or white gold will provide a contemporary contrast that emphasizes the gem’s brilliance. Chrysoberyl is durable for everyday wear with a Mohs hardness of 8.5, and the slightly included clarity does not compromise durability, making this an excellent candidate for rings, pendants, or bespoke designs where longevity is required. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this 1.02 carat emerald cut Tanzanian chrysoberyl as a premium natural specimen, fully described with measurements, clarity, color intensity, polish, and enhancement status, and we recommend commissioning independent gemological documentation if a formal report is required for insurance or provenance purposes.
