1.15 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.15 carat oval yellow chrysoberyl is a rare, naturally formed gem that stands out for its clear provenance and honest presentation, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. The stone measures 7.00 x 5.68 x 2.79 mm, and the cabochon cut has been executed to an excellent polish, creating a smooth surface that gently magnifies the semi transparent body and medium intense yellow color. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, an honest rating that ensures the stone retains lively color and light transmission while showing small natural inclusions that certify its natural origin. No enhancement has been applied to this gem, and its Ceylon Sri Lanka origin adds a layer of desirability, because Sri Lankan chrysoberyls are prized for their stable hues and clean material. Compared to many commercially available yellow gems, such as heat treated sapphires or widely available citrines, this chrysoberyl offers superior durability, natural color, and rarity, making it a stronger long term value and a more interesting choice for collectors and designers who prefer authenticity over treated or synthetic alternatives.

In practical terms, the cabochon shape is a smart choice for this particular stone, because it emphasizes the gemmatic glow and soft saturation that make yellow chrysoberyl unique, and it is easier to set securely in everyday jewelry while preserving the excellent polish. When compared to faceted stones of similar tone, this cabochon presents a calm, gemmy character that works beautifully in rings, pendants, and bespoke pieces where a warm, mellow yellow is desired. From a value perspective, The Natural Gemstone Company is positioning this piece as a refined alternative to mass market yellows, because its untouched state and documented origin reduce resale ambiguity and support provenance conscious buying. If you are choosing between a treated yellow sapphire, an inexpensive citrine, or this natural chrysoberyl, this stone delivers a combination of durability, natural color, and polished appeal that is both distinctive and practical, and it represents a thoughtful investment for anyone seeking a gem with character, honest clarity, and genuine Sri Lankan heritage.
