1.65 Ct. Brownish Yellow Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company we invite you to meet a stone that will stir the heart and become a treasured memory, a 1.65 carat fancy shaped chrysoberyl from Ceylon, a gem that glows with a warm brownish yellow and an intense color that seems to hold sunlight within. Transparent and lively, this gem measures 10.32 x 6.77 x 3.37 mm, a comfortable size that feels significant without overwhelming the hand. The clarity has been graded as very very slightly included at eye level, which means that to the naked eye the surface seems perfectly pure, and the very small natural inclusions serve only to remind the wearer of the gem is honest and natural. With no enhancement, and with an excellent polish, this chrysoberyl arrives exactly as nature created it, refined by expert hands, ready to become the centerpiece of a ring, a pendant, or a bespoke piece that celebrates an important moment.

The mixed brilliant cut of this chrysoberyl is the reason the gem seems to sing with light, and understanding how the cut enhances the inherent properties of chrysoberyl will help you imagine the sensation of seeing this stone move and flash. A mixed brilliant cut blends the best of two worlds, combining a brilliant style crown with step influenced aspects in the pavilion. The crown facets capture incoming light and break it into a sparkling dance across the table, while the pavilion facets are angled and arranged to return that light powerfully back through the crown. The result is a vivid balance of brilliance and fire, a lively scintillation that plays across the brownish yellow tones and brings out depth and life. Because chrysoberyl has a strong refractive index, precision in facet angles is essential, and the mixed brilliant cut here has been executed to exacting standards so that light enters, is refracted within the body of the gem, and emerges as flashes of warm yellow and golden brown that catch the eye and warm the spirit.

Beyond technical brilliance, the shape and facet design of this fancy cut enhance the color intensity in a way that feels almost intentional, like the gem has been shaped to magnify joy. The elongated profile and tapered end guide light along the length of the stone, concentrating saturation in the heart of the gem while allowing playful highlights to dance along the edges. This creates an impression of a living flame, a steady inner glow surrounded by lively sparks, and that duality is what makes this chrysoberyl so compelling. Whether set in yellow gold to amplify the warm tones, or contrasted with white metal to emphasize clarity and sparkle, the mixed brilliant cut ensures that every movement of the wearer produces new facets of beauty. The excellent polish maximizes surface reflection, so that even subtle wrist movements summon a cascade of tiny mirrors, each catching and returning light, each moment an invitation to smile.

Imagine offering this chrysoberyl as a gift that marks a new chapter, a celebration of achievement, or a quiet promise. When placed in a delicate setting, the gem will sit against skin and catch ambient light in ways that feel intimate and joyful. The size is perfect for a signature ring that will be noticed and admired, and the exotic provenance from Ceylon lends a story that is both romantic and authentic, a link to the storied mines of Sri Lanka where many of the world most beautiful gem materials are found. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the natural origin and the care taken in cutting and polishing each stone, and we delight in matching these rare beauties with people who will give them a life of love and wear. If you are seeking a gemstone that combines technical excellence with emotional richness, this 1.65 carat brownish yellow chrysoberyl, mixed brilliant cut, no enhancement, intense color, and excellent polish, is ready to become a part of your story.
