1.73 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Chrysoberyl has been cherished by connoisseurs for centuries, a gem that bridges classical lore and modern refinement, and this cushion shape yellowish brown chrysoberyl from Ceylon is a perfect example of that enduring appeal. Mined in the legendary deposits of Sri Lanka, known historically as Ceylon, this transparent 1.73 carat stone carries the quiet dignity of an island provenance famed for producing gems of exceptional character. The mixed brilliant cut reveals a balance of scintillation and depth, while the cushion outline evokes heirloom jewelry traditions that have been passed down through generations. With an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, this gem presents a warm, amber infused tone that changes subtly with light, a quality that has inspired jewelers and collectors across eras to prize chrysoberyl for its steadfast beauty and wearable elegance.

Beyond its poetic lineage, this specimen is technically remarkable and genuinely rare when compared with other chrysoberyls on the market. At 1.73 carat and measuring 7.58 by 7.09 by 4.24 mm, it occupies a sweet spot in size that is uncommon for yellowish brown material, where most stones of comparable hue are typically smaller or less vivid. Its clarity, graded as very very slightly included at eye level, ensures a crystal clear presence that enhances the gemological integrity and optical performance of the mixed brilliant cut. There is no enhancement, which preserves the natural character of the stone and affirms its authenticity. For the collector who values provenance and rarity, the combination of substantial size, intense natural color, and excellent polish makes this chrysoberyl a rare find, especially coming from Ceylon where such tones and sizes seldom coincide. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this gemstone for bespoke settings or as the foundational element of a timeless heirloom, a piece that will speak of tradition, rarity, and refined taste for generations to come.
