1.49 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you have been searching for a singular gemstone that answers the need for rarity, beauty, and enduring wearability, this translucent yellowish green chrysoberyl from The Natural Gemstone Company may be the final piece in your search. This finely proportioned oval weighs 1.49 carats, and measures 6.79 by 5.82 by 3.63 millimeters, presented as a smooth cabochon that invites a tactile appreciation as well as visual admiration. The stone is graded as very slightly included at eye level, offering a clean appearance to the unaided eye while preserving the natural character that collectors and connoisseurs prize. With medium color intensity and an excellent polish, this chrysoberyl presents a gently luminous face that catches and reflects light with a soft, satiny glow. Importantly for discerning buyers, this gem is free of enhancement, and its Sri Lankan provenance from Ceylon adds a storied origin that resonates with those who value natural, untreated gemstones.

Understanding your need for a gem that will perform beautifully in a variety of jewelry roles, I want to emphasize how well this chrysoberyl adapts to both classic and contemporary settings. The cabochon cut naturally emphasizes the stone’s internal texture and overall coloration, and when set in a carefully designed ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, it will offer an elegant, subdued presence that suits both daily wear and special occasions. Chrysoberyl scores an impressive hardness that makes it resilient against scratches and everyday life, so it is an excellent choice for an engagement ring when you want something distinctive yet durable. For a warm and harmonious look, yellow gold will enhance the yellowish green tones, while a cool white metal such as platinum or white gold can create a modern contrast that highlights the stone’s translucency. A bezel setting is a particularly smart option for a cabochon, as it protects the girdle and dome while focusing attention on the gem’s soft, silky surface.

For collectors and those seeking a gemstone with provenance and intrinsic appeal, the combination of Sri Lankan origin, natural state, and cabochon presentation makes this chrysoberyl a notable specimen. Ceylon is renowned for producing chrysoberyl with clarity and attractive hue, and this piece exemplifies those qualities with its even color and well executed cut. The medium intensity of color gives the stone versatility, enabling it to sit comfortably alongside accent diamonds, sapphires, or other colored gems in a bespoke creation that balances sparkle with serene color. Because the stone is untreated, it retains the rarity premium that collectors cherish, and its very slightly included clarity provides authenticity without compromising eye cleanliness. Whether you are completing a museum inspired collection, creating a signature engagement ring that departs from the ordinary, or commissioning a one of a kind pendant, this chrysoberyl offers a solid foundation for design choices that will stand the test of time.

When you buy from The Natural Gemstone Company you are buying more than a stone, you are buying expert guidance and confidence that your quest has a satisfying end. We are happy to provide additional high resolution images, precise measurements, and personalized advice on mounting and maintenance so the finished piece meets both your aesthetic and practical expectations.
