1.56 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Madagascar

When you are searching for a stone that resolves the competing needs of beauty, durability, and responsible sourcing, this 1.56 carat cushion shaped yellowish green chrysoberyl from Madagascar is an ideal answer. For someone planning an engagement ring who wants something unique but wearable, or for the collector who prizes natural, unenhanced gems with a clear provenance, this gem ends that search. The soft green with a hint of yellow sits perfectly between fresh and sophisticated, offering a color that flatters a range of metals and skin tones, while the cushion shape gives a classic silhouette with contemporary appeal. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that your gemstone must speak to personal values as well as aesthetic taste, and this chrysoberyl is ready to become the conversation piece that also reflects your commitment to responsible choices.

Look closely and you will appreciate the fine details that make this stone exceptional as a centerpiece. It weighs 1.56 carats, and measures 6.71 by 5.86 by 4.59 millimeters, proportions that translate to a presence on the finger that reads elegant and substantial without overpowering daily wear. The cutter has given it a mixed brilliant cut, combining the fire of brilliant-style facets with the soft, vintage appeal of a cushion outline, resulting in crisp flashes of white light and a lively, even scintillation. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone is eye clean with only minimal internal features visible under careful inspection, preserving transparency and depth. Color intensity sits at medium, a sweet balance that lets the green hue be distinct yet wearable, and the polish is excellent, delivering mirrorlike facet surfaces that enhance luster and allow the gem to communicate light with clarity. Importantly this chrysoberyl has no enhancement, so you are acquiring an entirely natural material that requires no treatment to produce its beauty.

Ethical sourcing is central to the appeal of this gem, and it is where conscious collectors and ethically minded couples will find real reassurance. The origin of this chrysoberyl is Madagascar, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we place great emphasis on traceability and responsible procurement. We work with partners on the ground who engage with artisanal and small scale mining communities, who seek to ensure fair compensation, safe working conditions, and minimization of environmental impact. Because this stone is offered without enhancement, no additional treatments were applied to alter its natural appearance, and the supply chain for this piece has been managed to avoid materials derived from exploitative or opaque sources. For buyers who want to know more, we are happy to provide detailed information on the route this stone took from the mine to our collection, and to discuss the steps we take to support ethical practices including local community programs and environmental safeguards.

Beyond its provenance and technical virtues, this chrysoberyl fits beautifully into a conscious consumer collection because it offers both practicality and distinction. Chrysoberyl ranks high on the Mohs scale, making it a durable choice for an engagement ring designed for everyday wear, and its cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut suit a variety of settings from secure bezel mounts to classic four prongs and bespoke designer settings that showcase its radiant table. For collectors, the combination of transparency, medium color intensity, and excellent polish offers a gem that photographs and displays exceptionally well, while the natural, untreated status adds to its collectible value. At The Natural Gemstone Company we pair this gem with personalized service, options for independent grading or gemological documentation on request, and guidance for setting designs that protect and enhance the stone. If your search has been for a rare color, honest origin, and enduring wearability, this Madagascar chrysoberyl provides a rare convergence of all three, and we are ready to help you make it the centerpiece of your next ring or the highlight of your gemstone collection.
