1.09 Ct. Yellowish Green Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

This 1.09 carat, transparent, emerald cut yellowish green chrysoberyl from Tanzania, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, presents a rare combination of clarity, cut, and natural color. The gem measures 6.10 x 5.60 x 3.52 mm, and it displays a light color intensity with a slightly included clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish. Importantly, this stone has no enhancement, so the soft, fresh green tone you see is entirely natural. Compared with other green gems on the market, this chrysoberyl offers superior durability, because chrysoberyl sits at approximately 8.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness. That places it well above common alternatives such as peridot and quartz which usually sit below eight, and above beryls like emerald which commonly range around seven and a half to eight. While sapphire at nine and diamond at ten are harder, chrysoberyl strikes a balance between toughness, brilliance, and affordability, making it far more practical for everyday jewelry where resistance to scratches and abrasion matter.

When you compare this emerald cut chrysoberyl to similarly sized gems, its excellent polish and clean transparency at one carat give it clarity and light return that often exceed price comparable stones with treatments or lower polish quality. Many green gems on the market require heating or other enhancements to improve color, but this Tanzanian chrysoberyl requires none, which enhances both its rarity and long term value. For everyday wearability, its Mohs eight point five hardness means it resists scratches from most materials encountered in daily life, and when set with a secure prong or bezel it becomes an elegant, durable center stone for rings, pendants, or earrings. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize honest grading and natural origins, so customers choosing this gem receive a naturally colored, well cut chrysoberyl that pairs gemological strength with refined beauty, making it a superior option for buyers seeking a long lasting, distinctive green gem without the premiums of treated stones or rarer species.
