1.57 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.57 carat chrysoberyl from Ceylon presents itself in a radiant shape with dimensions of 6.84 by 6.58 by 3.82 mm, offering a balanced and nearly square outline that adapts elegantly to a wide range of jewelry designs. The stone displays a yellowish green hue with a light color intensity, and it has been expertly fashioned in a radiant cut that combines the scintillation of brilliant faceting with the geometric appeal of trimmed corners, producing a lively play of light across the table and crown. Clarity has been evaluated as eye clean at eye level, which means that to the unaided eye the gem appears free of inclusions, a quality that significantly enhances visual purity and wearable appeal. The polish is excellent, which allows crisp facet junctions and optimal light return, and importantly this chrysoberyl has received no enhancement, preserving its natural state and intrinsic character as it was found in the ground. The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to offer this fine example of Sri Lankan chrysoberyl, a gem that combines measured weight, precise proportions, and a refined cutting style to deliver both visual elegance and structural integrity.

From a gemological perspective this chrysoberyl embodies attributes that informed buyers consider essential. Chrysoberyl is renowned for its durability, ranking at approximately 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it substantially more resistant to daily wear than many other collector gemstones. The eye clean clarity grade indicates that the stone will present a clean window to its color and cut without the need for magnification, which is a decisive advantage for jewelry destined for regular use. Light color intensity in a yellowish green chrysoberyl yields a delicate and sophisticated tone, one that reads as gentle and versatile rather than saturated, making the gem suitable for settings that prioritize subtlety and refinement. The absence of treatments or enhancements is a material factor for collectors and investors, because untreated provenance tends to maintain market credibility and often commands a premium among discerning buyers. Origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, adds important provenance, as Sri Lanka has a long and well documented history of producing high quality chrysoberyl, and origin information contributes to both aesthetic preference and market valuation.

Owning this 1.57 carat radiant chrysoberyl is an investment in both beauty and craftsmanship, and it is an investment that speaks to permanence as much as to aesthetic pleasure. The radiant cut that conserves weight while maximizing scintillation reflects thoughtful lapidary work, where facet placement and pavilion angles have been balanced to optimize brilliance without sacrificing carat yield, an approach that appeals to those who value skilled cutting as much as the rough material itself. The combination of eye clean clarity, excellent polish, and natural, untreated status positions this gem as a durable and collectible piece that can be responsibly integrated into bespoke rings, elegant pendants, or heirloom pieces intended to be enjoyed for generations. For educated buyers the value proposition extends beyond immediate visual appeal to include considerations of rarity, provenance, and long term marketability, and this chrysoberyl meets those criteria through documented origin, reputable presentation, and uncompromised natural quality.
