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

This transparent 1.10 carat asscher octagon chrysoberyl is a fine example of natural Ceylon material, measuring 6.05 x 5.54 x 3.48 mm. The stone shows a greenish yellow hue with intense color intensity, a clean and lively saturation that reads immediately to the eye. Cut in an asscher octagon, the pavilion and step facets have been proportioned to preserve weight while maximizing the internal light return, and the excellent polish yields crisp facet junctions and bright reflections. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, which means the gem is essentially eye clean from common viewing distances, with only minor natural features visible under close inspection that do not detract from the overall transparency or brilliance. There has been no enhancement, and the gem is a natural, untreated chrysoberyl from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance known for producing gems with both attractive color and stable crystal quality.

For an educated buyer seeking rarity and investment quality, this piece stands out in two important ways, size and color. Chrysoberyl in vivid greenish yellow tones is less common than the more frequent golden or pale yellow examples, and obtaining that intensity in a fully transparent stone above one carat is uncommon on the market. Many collectors and designers encounter chrysoberyl that is either smaller with good color, or larger but less saturated, making this 1.10 carat specimen unusual and desirable. The asscher octagon shape further increases its appeal, because that cut is less commonly applied to chrysoberyl and demands a clean rough to achieve crisp step facets, which in turn commands a premium. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize natural origin, no enhancement, and precision cutting, all of which add measurable value for buyers who appreciate documented quality, rarity, and aesthetic versatility. This stone will set beautifully in a fine ring or as the centerpiece of a bespoke pendant, retaining rarity both for its size relative to similar color stones and for the intensity of its greenish yellow hue. If you seek a collector grade chrysoberyl with strong visual impact and sound gemological credentials, this Ceylon asscher octagon is a compelling choice.
