1.22 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a single, glowing drop of sunlight gathered and cooled into a gem, a greenish yellow chrysoberyl that holds a hush and a promise. This is a translucent treasure weighing 1.22 carat, a round shape with a cabochon cut that invites the eye to wander over its gentle dome and discover new depths with every tilt. At 5.69 x 5.46 x 3.97 mm it is intimate enough to feel like a secret pressed against the skin, and large enough to be noticed when it catches the light. The hue is a soft chorus of green and gold, intense in its presence, like the first tender leaves of spring touched by morning sun. The polish is excellent, a mirror like skin that offers a soft, luminous sheen, as if the gem remembers the heat and rain of its birthplace and holds them both in silent memory.

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company, I love to talk about truth and provenance, and this gem is honest in every way. It is Other certified, with a lab color classification of Greenish Yellow, and it has no enhancement, a wholly natural heart. Clarity is eye clean when viewed at eye level, which means you will see a calm, untroubled surface free of visible inclusions that might interrupt the gem s serene glow. The origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a place famed for producing stones that seem to carry the island s tropical light in their very core. The cabochon form amplifies the gem s soft radiance, allowing a gentle play of light to sweep across its dome, a living sheen that changes with every movement. Those technical notes are not cold facts to me, they are the lines of a weathered love letter, proof that this piece is natural, enduring, and ready to be set into a story.

Picture this chrysoberyl held close to a lovers pulse, set in warm gold to echo the yellow, or paired with soft matte platinum to let the green whisper forward, or cradled in a halo of tiny white diamonds to make its color sing like a private melody. Its round, cabochon form lends itself to romantic solitaires, bezel settings that protect and celebrate the dome, or vintage inspired mounts that feel like heirlooms waiting to be named. Because it is eye clean and intensely colored, the gem will wear beautifully, a companion for everyday vows and special nights alike. Caring for it is simple, gentle cleaning with warm water and a soft cloth will keep its polished face luminous, and the fact that it is unenhanced means its beauty will age with you, a true natural partner. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish pieces that carry a sense of place and history, and this Ceylon chrysoberyl is one such stone, certified by Other, ready to become a private emblem of affection. If you are seeking a gem that whispers rather than shouts, that carries a poetic kind of light and a solid, verifiable story, this greenish yellow chrysoberyl is waiting to begin your next chapter.
