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

Owning a gemstone of true distinction begins with carat weight, and this exceptional 1.06 carat chrysoberyl is a rare invitation to an elite circle of collectors and connoisseurs, a singular treasure that reads as both understated and unmistakably valuable. At just over one carat, this emerald cut stone carries a presence on the finger or in a pendant that is elegantly assertive, measuring a refined 6.70 by 4.78 by 3.62 millimeters, proportions that reveal a masterful balance between face up presence and depth. The modest yet highly significant 1.06 carat weight is a declaration of premium quality, a weight class that signals careful selection from the finest rough material, where size has been preserved without sacrificing color, clarity, and cut. For those who understand gemstones, the significance of this precise carat weight is clear, it is the meeting point of rarity and wearability, a stone that reads as investment grade while remaining perfectly suited for bespoke design, an heirloom in miniature awaiting the hand that will set it.

The gem itself is a yellowish green chrysoberyl from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing chrysoberyls with exceptional transparency and refined color tones. This specimen presents a light color intensity that gives it a delicate, luminous character, a color that whispers rather than shouts, allowing it to harmonize with a wide palette of metals and settings. Cut into a classic emerald shape with a faceted cutting style, the stone displays linear elegance and step facets that create a serene hall of mirrors effect, emphasizing depth, clarity and the stone’s clean lines. Clarity is graded very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a testament to the high quality of the rough and the careful cutting that preserved transparency and sparkle. These minute inclusions do not detract from the gem’s beauty, rather they are small signatures of natural origin that collectors prize. The polish is excellent, each facet finished to a mirror sheen that maximizes light return and subtle scintillation, and there has been no enhancement, no heat, no diffusion, no treatments of any kind, leaving the stone in its pure, natural state. The combination of its 1.06 carat weight, the precise dimensions, the emerald cut, the eye clean clarity, the light but enchanting yellowish green hue, the excellent polish, and the untreated Ceylon origin make this chrysoberyl a premium example of its species, a stone that stands apart from mass market material and invites the serious buyer who values provenance and authenticity.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate only a handful of such refined pieces at any given time, each offered to a select clientele who understand that true rarity is measured not only in grams and carats, but in provenance, cut, and the absence of alteration. This is a single, individual stone, a unique expression of natural geometry and color, and as such it belongs to someone who seeks a singularly personal connection to their jewelry. Imagine this 1.06 carat emerald cut chrysoberyl set in a custom platinum halo for an unapologetically modern engagement ring, or mounted as the centerpiece of a delicate pendant that catches light and conversation with equal measure. Our gem specialists can advise on settings that preserve the gem’s proportions and accentuate its lightness of color, recommending metal tones and design motifs that either contrast for impact or complement for serene elegance. Because availability of such well proportioned and untreated pieces is limited, we encourage discerning clients to reserve this stone, and to consider fastidious options such as bespoke setting, appraisal documentation, and secure delivery. Owning this chrysoberyl from Ceylon is to join a rarefied group of collectors and patrons of The Natural Gemstone Company who prioritize authenticity, refined carat selections, and the quiet prestige that comes from possessing a natural gem of exceptional pedigree.
