1.64 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

A rare offering from The Natural Gemstone Company, this transparent 1.64 carat cushion shape yellowish green chrysoberyl is a jewel for a discerning collector who values both beauty and provenance. Measuring 7.42 x 5.55 x 4.21 mm with a mixed brilliant cut, it has the lively scintillation of a masterful faceting execution, and the excellent polish allows light to dance through its planes with clean, bright flashes. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very very slightly included, a testament to natural formation that does not compromise the gemly transparency that collectors covet. The medium color intensity strikes a perfect balance between fresh vitality and refined subtlety, a yellowish green that reads differently under morning light and evening illumination, and because it is completely unenhanced and originates from Tanzania, this chrysoberyl carries the authenticity and geological story that cannot be duplicated in treated stones.

In the company of legendary gems, this chrysoberyl shares affinities with some of the most storied examples in gem history while retaining its distinct character. The clear, luminous green tone recalls the historic presence of the Dresden Green in its ability to command attention, yet unlike many celebrated green gems that are fragile or heavily treated, chrysoberyl offers remarkable hardness and resilience. Its brilliance and facet play can bring to mind the fire of a well cut diamond, while the serene green hints at the classic charm of fine aquamarines and peridots that once adorned royal jewels. Where Kashmir sapphires and Burmese rubies are prized for depth of saturation, this stone is prized for its clarity and the rare, refined yellowish green hue, a color that is seldom found in such a combination of size, cut, and untreated purity. For the collector who appreciates historical reference yet seeks something entirely individual, this gem stands as a modern heirloom, evocative of great jewels yet wholly singular.

The feeling of exclusivity begins the moment one considers its proportions and quality, a cushion profile that sits elegantly in a bespoke setting and flatters the hand with presence rather than ostentation. At 1.64 carat and with face up dimensions of 7.42 x 5.55 mm, the stone reads larger than its weight would suggest, thanks to its thoughtful mixed brilliant cutting strategy which maximizes optical return. Its very very slightly included clarity, seen only at close inspection, ensures that when mounted as a solitaire or as the center of a custom halo, the gem will project a clean window of color and light. Origin from Tanzania adds another layer of appeal, collectors prize stones with clear geographic heritage, and the fact that this chrysoberyl is unenhanced elevates its rarity, because many colored stones of comparable hue and size are commonly subject to treatments. Imagine this stone set in a refined yellow gold bezel or in a bespoke platinum mounting, each option turning a personal commission into a private jewel that few eyes will have the privilege to own.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this chrysoberyl as a limited opportunity for an elite clientele who value authenticity, durability, and timeless beauty. There are moments when a gemstone offers not only adornment but a story, and this yellowish green chrysoberyl carries the narrative of Tanzanian earth, meticulous cutting, and uncompromised natural color. For collectors seeking a single unique centerpiece, or for clients planning a custom creation that will be worn across generations, this gem is offered with personalized service to advise on setting styles, metal choices, and design approaches that will preserve and amplify its character. Availability is inherently finite, and when a stone of this size, clarity, and untouched origin presents itself, it is reserved quickly by those who understand the rare joy of owning a piece that is both intimately personal and remarkably uncommon.
