1.43 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.43 carat radiant shape greenish yellow chrysoberyl from Ceylon, Sri Lanka is a rare find that stands apart from common yellow and green gems, and at 7.91 by 5.47 by 3.63 millimeters it presents exceptional presence for its carat weight. The radiant cut of this stone has been executed with precision to create a lively balance of brilliant flashes and crisp geometric lines, and the eye clean clarity evaluated at eye level means the gem shows no distraction from inclusions when set in a ring or pendant. With a medium color intensity that sits attractively between chartreuse and lemon, and an excellent polish that delivers a mirror like finish over every facet, this chrysoberyl offers a combination of refined color and brilliant light performance that is rare among similar greenish yellow gems. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company in its natural, untreated state with no enhancement, this piece showcases the best qualities that discerning collectors and jewelers seek in a centerpiece gem.

In comparison to peridot, yellow sapphire, citrine, and green tourmaline, this Ceylon chrysoberyl scores strongly on several practical and aesthetic measures, making it a superior choice for long term wear. Chrysoberyl rates high on the Mohs scale at approximately 8.5, which means it resists scratches and abrasion far better than peridot and citrine, and it will maintain its crisp facet edges and polish through decades of wear. Unlike many yellow sapphires that may receive heat treatment to enhance color, and unlike emeralds that are commonly oiled to improve clarity, this chrysoberyl is natural and untreated, preserving its intrinsic value and appeal. The stone also offers a distinct optical character, with the radiant cut enhancing scintillation and brilliance more dynamically than the typical step cuts applied to many green stones, and with its eye clean clarity the gem reads as visually pure at a glance, an attribute that elevates its perceived quality and resale appeal.

The cut and polish on this radiant chrysoberyl are the features that truly make it a centerpiece in any collection, because they translate mineral quality into visible life and fire. The radiant cut combines the elegant outline of an emerald shape with the faceted brilliance of a modified brilliant cut, and when proportioned as carefully as this specimen the result is a vivid play of light that appears from the table and across the crown, creating flashes of bright yellow green that respond to every change in light. The excellent polish ensures that those flashes are crisp and uninterrupted, and the medium depth of 3.63 millimeters supports strong light return while preserving the stone profile for comfortable settings. As shown in images of the stone worn on the hand, the gem sits with a commanding but refined presence, catching daylight to reveal a warm greenish yellow that complements both warm and cool metal tones, which makes it versatile for modern or classic jewelry designs.
