1.68 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Born in the verdant, gem rich soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this greenish yellow chrysoberyl carries the memory of riverbeds and centuries of skilled collecting, the small stone that became a treasure was found by hand, gentle sifting and patient searching revealed a crystal with unusual transparency and intense color, it was then entrusted to master cutters who understood how to coax light from its heart, cut into a 1.68 carat round shape with a mixed brilliant cut, measuring 6.78 x 6.81 x 5.15 mm, each facet was formed to amplify its adamantine sheen, the final polish was given with exacting care to achieve an excellent finish, the gem is eye clean evaluated at eye level, and it bears no enhancements, a completely natural, honest stone that arrives to you through The Natural Gemstone Company as a piece of Ceylonese earth made wearable art.

When you set this chrysoberyl beside more familiar gems, its presence is immediately clear, its brilliance is different in kind rather than simply in degree, diamonds scatter light into dramatic flashes of fire, and sapphires hold deep, saturated color with a velvety glow, this chrysoberyl instead offers a crisp, lively return of light that cuts through color with a lively, energetic sparkle, its refractive play gives sharper facet contrast than most beryl family gems such as emerald or aquamarine, and its clarity and intense color deliver a clarity of tone that often outshines peridot or citrine of similar hue, because it combines a high degree of transparency with an adamantine luster, it seems to glow from within, catching light and returning it with a focused brightness that makes the greenish yellow tone sing without muddying, for someone seeking a gem that feels simultaneously rare and approachable this stone is a standout, robust enough for everyday wear, refined enough for special moments, and wholly natural, a story of earth and hands, from Ceylon riverbed to the careful hands at The Natural Gemstone Company.
