1.52 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

This exquisite green chrysoberyl from Tanzania carries the quiet authority of gemstones that have been treasured since antiquity, a companion for those who appreciate lineage and enduring beauty. We present a lovely opaque 1.52 carat oval, with exact dimensions of 6.30 x 5.37 x 4.78 mm, carved into a classic cabochon cut that honors an age old tradition of lapidary art. The cabochon reflects a soft, even surface that invites the eye to linger on its medium color intensity, a green that reads as both verdant and refined, poised between vibrancy and restraint. Slightly included at eye level, this clarity grade offers natural character rather than flaw, telling of geological journeys and the authenticity of an untreated stone. With an excellent polish that magnifies the surface glow and a declaration of no enhancement, this chrysoberyl is entirely natural, a genuine artifact of the earth delivered by The Natural Gemstone Company, and a piece that speaks to collectors and connoisseurs who prize provenance and integrity.

The cabochon shape is steeped in history, reminding us of ancient signets, amulets, and talismans that were worn close to the body for protection and prestige. In this form the stone presents a luminous plane of color rather than a faceted flash, allowing its internal character to be the focus. The medium color intensity is especially flattering in classic jewelry designs, translating beautifully into heirloom rings, pendants, and brooches that aim for timeless appeal. The slightly included nature gives a whisper of texture when viewed closely, a proof of origin and a mark of genuineness that polished gems without inclusions cannot mimic. Sourced from Tanzania, a region that has yielded many notable gemstone finds, this piece carries with it the mineral heritage of a storied landscape. The absence of enhancement assures that what you see is natural color and structure, a trait that will be treasured by those who value legacy and truthful gemology.

Durability is a defining strength of chrysoberyl, making this piece exceptionally well suited for daily wear and for meaningful jewelry that accompanies life rather than being reserved for occasional display. Chrysoberyl ranks high on the hardness scale, offering strong resistance to scratches and abrasion, qualities that ensure a polished surface and pleasing silhouette even with frequent use. The cabochon cut further contributes to durability by presenting a smooth dome that disperses point stresses and reduces the probability of chipping at edges or corners. These physical properties make the stone ideal for settings that see daily contact, including rings, pendants worn near the neckline, and bracelets that benefit from the gem s resilience. Care requirements are uncomplicated, a reassuring element for everyday jewelry enthusiasts. Gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap, occasional soft brushing, and avoidance of harsh chemicals or severe knocks will preserve the excellent polish and color. For setting, we recommend classic, protective mounts that cradle the cabochon while allowing the surface to be admired, an approach that honors both function and aesthetic longevity. At The Natural Gemstone Company we believe that true beauty is measured over time, and this Tanzanian green chrysoberyl embodies that philosophy. It is a stone that connects historical reverence with contemporary practicality, a rare natural treasure ready to be worn and enjoyed now and passed down for generations.
