1.12 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Presenting one beautiful transparent 1.12 carat pear shape greenish yellow chrysoberyl from Ceylon Sri Lanka, measuring 6.88 by 5.64 by 4.28 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style with excellent polish, clarity graded very slightly included at eye level, medium intense color, no enhancement, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. This gem combines classic pear elegance with the precision of a mixed brilliant cut, producing crisp facet junctions and a lively play of light that reads as both fire and scintillation. The medium intense greenish yellow tone is lively without overwhelming, allowing the stone to read fresh and modern in rings or pendants, while the very slightly included clarity gives it eye appeal without compromising the sense of depth and transparency. The fact that it is untreated adds to its rarity and value, and the Sri Lankan origin speaks to a long heritage of fine chrysoberyl production.

Compared to more common green and yellow gemstones such as peridot, citrine, and yellow quartz, this chrysoberyl stands out in both brilliance and durability. Chrysoberyl has a higher refractive response than those species, which means light returns as sharper, more defined flashes rather than the softer glow typical of quartz family stones, and the mixed brilliant cutting style here takes full advantage of that optical advantage to create crisp sparkle from each facet. Against yellow sapphire this chrysoberyl offers a different appeal, combining a unique greenish yellow hue with greater individuality at this size and color intensity, while still offering superior toughness for everyday wear compared with many softer gems. The excellent polish and well executed pear proportions enhance light performance, producing a lively center flash and attractive faceted reflections toward the point and rounded end, qualities that are immediately noticeable when compared side by side with more common stones. For collectors and designers seeking a gem that delivers rarity, lively brilliance, and practical wearability, this 1.12 carat Sri Lankan chrysoberyl from The Natural Gemstone Company makes a strong statement, offering a gemstone that is both visually compelling and fundamentally superior in quality and versatility.
