1.18 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Madagascar

This exquisite transparent 1.18 carat princess shape yellowish green chrysoberyl measures 6.35 x 5.46 x 3.43 mm, and it presents a refined balance of size and precision. The stone is princess cut with an excellent polish, offering crisp facet junctions and exceptional light return for a square cut that reads slightly rectangular to the eye. Clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem is effectively eye clean with only minute inclusions detectable under careful scrutiny. Color shows a medium intensity yellowish green that is natural and untreated, enhancement free, and originates from Madagascar, a source known for producing well formed chrysoberyls with clean material and attractive hues.

From a gemological perspective this specimen is notable for several reasons that will resonate with an educated buyer. Chrysoberyl has a refractive index in the range typical for the species, and a hardness of 8.5 on the Mohs scale, qualities that combine brilliance with durable wearability for daily jewelry. A princess cut in this carat range is uncommon for chrysoberyl, because many stones of similar hue and material are either found in smaller sizes, or cut as rounds or ovals to maximize color. Finding a transparent yellowish green chrysoberyl at 1.18 carat with medium color intensity and very very slightly included clarity is rare compared to the broader market where similar colors are often paler, heavily included, or treated. The absence of enhancement further elevates its appeal, since natural color and clarity command a premium among collectors and connoisseurs.

For buyers seeking a piece that combines aesthetic versatility and long term value this chrysoberyl is an excellent choice. It will set beautifully as a modern solitaire in a ring, or as a striking center for a geometric pendant, where the princess shape emphasizes clean lines and contemporary elegance.
