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

This transparent 1.18 carat cushion shape greenish yellow chrysoberyl measures 6.46 x 6.43 x 3.80 mm, and its proportions reflect deliberate lapidary control to balance brilliance and color saturation. The gem is executed in a mixed brilliant cut, with a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown that maximizes scintillation and a faceted pavilion that preserves return of light without leakage. The cushion outline is gently softened at the corners, and the table to crown relationship produces lively facet junctions and crisp light breaks. Clarity is graded very very slightly included at eye level, meaning inclusions are minute and do not compromise transparency or visual appeal under direct inspection. Color is medium in intensity, a greenish yellow hue that is evenly distributed through the stone and enhanced by the strategic depth profile. Polish is excellent, resulting in smooth facet planes and high luster, while the girdle integrity and symmetry are consistent with premium cutting standards. This chrysoberyl is natural and untreated, no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing chrysoberyl with clean crystals and attractive tone.

The 1.18 carat weight situates this cushion chrysoberyl in a premium quality category, offering significant presence on the finger while maintaining elegant wearability. At the reported dimensions the depth proportion is approximately 59 percent, a ratio that supports optimal light performance and a pleasing face up area relative to carat weight. For collectors and connoisseurs the weight is important not only for market valuation but for proportions and visual mass, and this example demonstrates how precise cutting preserves weight while optimizing optical performance. The combination of medium color intensity, very very slightly included clarity at eye level, and excellent polish yields a gem that is ready for high end mounting, suited to settings that emphasize face up brilliance such as four prong or fine bezel profiles. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this specimen with full disclosure of origin and treatment status, and the piece is ideal for buyers seeking a natural Ceylon chrysoberyl with technical merit, refined faceting, and a demonstrable premium carat weight.
