1.45 Ct. Greenish Yellow Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for that singular gemstone that resolves a long standing quest for beauty and meaning, this 1.45 carat cushion shape greenish yellow chrysoberyl from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, answers that call with quiet confidence. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that whether you are choosing an engagement ring that must symbolize lasting commitment, or selecting a rare piece to anchor a curated collection, you want a gem that combines rarity, enduring beauty, and practical wearability. This chrysoberyl presents itself as a perfectly balanced solution, transparent and vibrant, with a medium color intensity that reads as green with a golden yellow warmth depending on the light. Its cushion silhouette is modern yet timeless, and at 1.45 carats it offers noticeable presence without overwhelming the finger, ready to be the center of a meaningful design or the highlight in a refined jewelry setting.

The secret to the extraordinary sparkle of this chrysoberyl lies in its crystalline structure and the way it has been masterfully faceted. Chrysoberyl has a high refractive index for its class, which means it bends and returns light with a firm, lively response. Combined with its adamantine to vitreous luster, the gem rewards carefully cut facets with brilliant flashes and lively scintillation. This specimen has been cut as a mixed brilliant, a choice that marries the dramatic light return of a brilliant style crown with the depth and contrast of a more step oriented pavilion. The result is an ever shifting play of light across the table and through the pavilion, delivering bright sparkle from small movements, and deep flashes when the stone is tilted. The cushion outline softens the geometry, allowing the luminous facets to broaden and spread light in a way that yields both sparkle and a comfortable elegance in everyday wear.

Dimensions and finish matter deeply when you want a gem that performs as well in reality as it promises on paper, and this stone is precisely measured and finished to do just that. The chrysoberyl measures 6.84 by 6.73 by 3.88 millimeters, proportions that give it a pleasing spread on the hand while maintaining enough depth to maximize internal reflections. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads clean to the naked eye, allowing uninterrupted transmission of light across the pavilion and crown. With an excellent polish the facets act like tiny mirrors, each edge crisply defined to channel light where it produces the most brilliance. Because there are no enhancements, you are seeing the gem exactly as nature fashioned it, without treatments that could alter its optical behavior. This natural state, combined with the careful cutting and finishing, ensures the stone displays a consistent and engaging shimmer that feels authentic and enduring.

Color and origin are part of the story you wear, and this greenish yellow hue from Ceylon offers a subtle, sophisticated glow that suits both classic and contemporary jewelry. The medium color intensity gives the gem enough presence to be noticed, while preserving a clarity of tone that allows those bright, concentrated flashes to breathe and shine. Sri Lanka remains one of the most respected sources for fine chrysoberyl, and provenance from Ceylon adds a layer of provenance that many collectors and brides appreciate. Beyond beauty, chrysoberyl offers practical advantages for everyday pieces, it ranks high on the Mohs scale for durability, and it resists scratching and wear far better than many other colored gemstones. This combination of wearability and optical performance makes it ideal for a daily engagement ring or a treasured collector piece that can be admired often without worry.
