1.47 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a piece of the earth that feels like a secret waiting to be shared, a small orb of warm light that seems to know how to make the ordinary moment unforgettable. This is the feeling that comes with this translucent 1.47 carat brown chrysoberyl from Ceylon, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. The gem is cut into an elegant oval shape, carefully sized at 6.52 x 6.55 x 3.68 mm, and fashioned as a cabochon so that every gentle curve and inner nuance is revealed as if by a whisper. The medium color intensity is a soft, comforting brown that carries golden and honeyed undertones, a hue that invites the hand to linger and the eye to return. There is an intimacy to its size and shape that translates beautifully when worn, whether mounted as a solitaire ring that tells a private story, or set as a pendant that rests close to the heart.

What truly elevates this chrysoberyl is the flawless quality that enhances its beauty from every angle, a quality that our gem cutters and graders at The Natural Gemstone Company respect deeply. At eye level the clarity is graded as very very slightly included, a testament to the gem s natural purity and the care taken to preserve its inner landscape. These minute inclusions, nearly invisible to the naked eye, act like tiny proof points of origin, tiny signatures that confirm the gem s natural journey from the mines of Sri Lanka to your palm. The excellent polish turns light into a gentle celebration across the dome of the cabochon, creating soft reflections and a warm sheen that shifts with movement. Because the gem is untreated, with no enhancement, its story is unaltered and honest, and the light that travels through it is the same light that danced in the geodes of Ceylon. From the crown of the cabochon to the rounded base, the surface is a seamless mirror that reveals new subtleties with each change in perspective, making the stone feel alive and responsive when it catches a sunlit window or a bright evening lamp.

When you place this chrysoberyl into a setting, you are choosing a jewel that transforms ordinary moments into lasting memories, a tangible expression of love, gratitude, or self celebration. The oval cabochon lends itself to designs that emphasize its soft glow, a bezel setting to protect and showcase the dome, or a delicate halo to contrast warm brown with bright metal. On the hand the gem carries a serenely confident presence, small enough to be intimate, large enough to be noticed, and luminous enough to spark conversation. Imagine gifting this gem on a milestone birthday, as a token of appreciation for a loved one, or as an heirloom piece started today and worn for generations. The origin from Ceylon adds a layer of romantic provenance, a connection to a storied landscape known for producing gemstones with character and depth. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind this chrysoberyl as a sincere and natural treasure, a piece that invites reflection and celebration, a companion for the moments that matter most.
