1.09 Ct. Greenish Yellow Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.09 carat round shape greenish yellow chrysoberyl, with dimensions of 6.33 x 6.27 x 3.81 mm, enters a lineage of gemstones that have been admired and treasured across continents and centuries. Chrysoberyl has long been associated with clarity of thought and steadfastness of spirit, a gem that carried meaning in ancient courts and village markets alike. This example is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, which balances the scintillating fire of a classic brilliant with the measured elegance of a step influenced pavilion, producing a play of light that feels both ancient and immediate. With an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, the stone reveals a lively greenish yellow that shifts subtly with movement, a hue that evokes sunlit leaves and old world jewels worn by generations who valued beauty and endurance. The clarity is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a small and honest signature of natural origin that contributes character rather than diminishment. No enhancement has been applied, a rare and prized condition increasingly sought by collectors who appreciate authenticity and the story that each natural inclusion can tell.

Rooted in the storied gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this chrysoberyl is more than a single exquisite stone, it is a tangible connection to one of the most venerable gem producing landscapes on earth.
