1.31 Ct. Greenish Yellow Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

One beautiful translucent 1.31 carat oval greenish yellow chrysoberyl from Tanzania, presented as a classic cabochon, offers a restrained elegance and a clear set of gemological attributes. The stone measures 6.55 by 5.97 by 3.55 millimeters, and its medium color intensity provides a soft, evenly distributed greenish yellow tone that reads well in natural and controlled lighting. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a condition that preserves the gem's pleasing translucency while recording minor internal features that are typical of natural chrysoberyl. The surface shows an excellent polish, enhancing the cabochon profile and the overall surface luster, and no enhancement has been applied to alter the stone, a detail we document precisely at The Natural Gemstone Company.

Technically, chrysoberyl is valued for its notable hardness and stability, characteristics that make this piece suitable for a range of wearable settings. With a precise weight of 1.31 carats and the compact oval cabochon shape, the stone is especially well suited to bezel settings and secure mountings that protect the girdle and preserve the cabochon dome. The very slightly included clarity grade will be appreciated by gem cutters and designers who prefer natural character over complete removal of internal features, and the excellent polish supports a quality finish when set into rings, pendants, or bespoke pieces. The absence of enhancement is a significant factor for collectors and connoisseurs, because the gem presents its natural color and optical properties as formed in its Tanzanian environment, information that we verify and record at each step of our sourcing and handling procedures.

From a heritage perspective, chrysoberyl has a long tradition as a durable and meaningful gemstone, historically used in protective jewelry and talismans across several cultures. In South Asian traditions, chrysoberyl variants were often set into signet and seal rings, valued for their resistance to wear and for the clarity of their surfaces when polished to a cabochon, and in European contexts collectors long appreciated chrysoberyl for its combination of hardness and attractive color range. This Tanzanian example follows that lineage, offering the same practical durability and aesthetic qualities that made chrysoberyl a material of choice for functional and ceremonial pieces. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this gem with clear provenance, accurate measurements, and an honest assessment of its visual character, making it a precise option for jewelers seeking a reliable, naturally formed chrysoberyl, and for collectors seeking a piece with both documented origin and traditional resonance.
