1.27 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

This 1.27 carat cushion shape green chrysoberyl from Tanzania immediately distinguishes itself from more common green gems on the market, such as peridot and lower grade emeralds, by offering a rare combination of brilliance, durability, and natural clarity. Where peridot typically shows a softer tone and a lower hardness that makes it less suited to everyday wear, this chrysoberyl brings a harder gemstone class with a lively mixed brilliant cut that returns light in a crisp, lively way. Compared with many commercial green sapphires and treated stones, this natural chrysoberyl has a pleasing medium color intensity that reads as a fresh, lime green that remains vivid without tipping into artificial saturation. The clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level means the gem is essentially eye clean, which is a premium attribute at this carat weight and gives it a clean, open face up appearance that will read larger and more valuable than many stones of similar size and price.

Focusing on the carat weight, 1.27 carats is an especially desirable size for chrysoberyl because this species tends to be sold in smaller, more modest sizes due to limited supply of high clarity material. At 6.76 x 5.12 x 4.02 millimeters the proportions are well balanced, allowing the stone to sit elegantly in a ring or pendant while showing substantial face up presence that belies the single carat mark. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes brilliance and sparkle, and the excellent polish enhances light return so that the gem behaves like a larger stone visually. In comparison to many marketplace offerings that emphasize size alone, this gem demonstrates why carat weight must be paired with quality of cut and clarity. A 1.27 carat chrysoberyl with these proportions and an eye level clarity described as very slightly included will outperform a larger, poorly cut or heavily included competitor in visual impact and in resale desirability.

Another factor that elevates this gem above many alternatives is that it is untreated and unenhanced, a true natural gemstone. Many green stones sold today receive heat treatment or clarity enhancements that can materially change their appearance and market value. This Tanzanian chrysoberyl comes to you with no enhancement, which means the color, clarity, and brilliance you see are the result of nature and expert cutting alone. Origin matters in the trade, and Tanzanian chrysoberyls have earned a reputation for producing clean, attractive material that photographers and designers value. The combination of authentic origin, no enhancement, and excellent polish makes this chrysoberyl a wise choice for buyers who want the security of a natural, untreated stone and the visual luxury of a gem that performs well under close inspection.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this cushion shape green chrysoberyl as a premium option for clients who want more than a decorative stone. Its 1.27 carats provide a meaningful, wearable size that is rare for the quality level you see here. Compared to synthetic alternatives, this natural chrysoberyl offers provenance and longevity, and compared to lower grade natural stones it delivers better light performance and practical durability. For jewelers and collectors who prioritize unenhanced natural material, excellent polish, and a balance between carat weight and visual impact, this gem represents superior value. If you are planning a bespoke ring, a classic solitaire pendant, or a refined pair of earrings that require a centerpiece with presence and integrity, this Tanzanian chrysoberyl will meet those needs while giving the long term satisfaction that comes from a legitimately premium natural gem.
