1.70 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

Imagine holding a moment that will become a memory, a small greenish yellow heart captured in a timeless oval, a treasure from the earth that seems to glow with its own quiet promise. This is a translucent chrysoberyl weighing 1.70 carat, measuring 6.76 by 6.18 by 4.05 mm, fashioned as a cabochon cut to enhance its inner radiance. Its color is a fresh greenish yellow with medium color intensity, offering a gentle, sunshine kissed warmth that moves with the light. At eye level it is graded very slightly included, an honest and natural clarity that allows the gem to speak with sincerity, and it is finished with an excellent polish that gives its surface a silky sheen. There is no enhancement, the gem is as the earth made it, and it comes to you from Tanzania, a place known for producing gemstones with character and depth. At The Natural Gemstone Company we see this chrysoberyl as more than a stone. It is a moment you can wear, a quiet love note in jewel form, a gift that carries the weight of intention and the glow of pure affection.

When you compare this chrysoberyl to more common gemstones the way it captures the eye becomes even more compelling. Diamonds are famous for their fire and brilliance because of their high refractive properties, and sapphires and emeralds are loved for their saturated, vivid colors. Chrysoberyl does not try to imitate those displays, it offers something altogether different and deeply personal. Its luster is adamantine to vitreous, producing a compact and lively reflection that is more intense than peridot or topaz in similar sizes, and its refractive behavior gives surfaces a crisp, reflective quality that reads as clarity and life. As a cabochon this gem is not about brilliant faceted sparkle, it is about a glowing depth and inner light, a soft luminescence that invites touch and close conversation. The very slightly included clarity often makes the color appear to float within the body of the gem, a gentle bloom of tone that changes with movement, and because of its natural hardness it will keep that glow for decades of wear. Unlike many stones that undergo treatments to heighten appearance, this chrysoberyl is untreated, which makes its color and polish an honest reflection of natural beauty. The result is a gem that stands apart, it is less about shouting brightness and more about offering a rich, enduring presence that feels rare in a world of mass produced shimmer.

Choosing this chrysoberyl from The Natural Gemstone Company is a choice to give something that will mark a meaningful occasion and keep giving joy. Picture presenting this oval cabochon set into a pendant that rests near the heart, or into a signet style ring that will be noticed in private smiles and remembered in family stories. The medium color intensity ensures versatility, it pairs with warm metals or cool metals, it sits beautifully next to diamonds for contrast, and it brings a unique energy when matched with other colored stones. Because it is from Tanzania and untouched by enhancement, it has a provenance and integrity that matter to collectors and sentimental buyers alike. When you buy this gem you are not only selecting a beautiful object, you are investing in a narrative, a symbol of commitment, a token that will age into an heirloom. Let us help you turn this greenish yellow chrysoberyl into a piece that will be worn for anniversaries, given at milestones, and treasured in daily life. At The Natural Gemstone Company we will provide the care, the knowledge, and the confidence you need to make this gem a permanent part of your most cherished memories.
