1.74 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the riverbeds of Ceylon this chrysoberyl began as a small, unassuming crystal folded into ancient alluvial gravel, each grain telling a story of tropical rains and time. Miners in Sri Lanka, guided by generations of knowledge, carefully recovered this transparent stone and passed it to cutters who respected the gem rather than reshaped it. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish that lineage, and this 1.74 carat oval chrysoberyl carries the fingerprints of its origin in every facet. Its yellowish brown heart has depth and warmth, and its journey from earth to gem is visible in the way light travels through it, revealing layers of color that speak of Ceylon soil and sunlight.

The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut with geometric precision to maximize light play, translating the stones internal story into flashes of brilliance and concentrated color. At 8.52 by 6.39 by 4.27 mm the proportions are balanced for both presence and wearability, and the excellent polish allows each facet to act as a mirror and a window. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, which means the stone retains high transparency while preserving natural character. Color intensity is intense, creating a lively contrast between deep honey tones and cooler olive flashes depending on viewing angle. There is no enhancement, so what you see is the gem in its honest, natural state. For customers who enjoy pairing gemstones, consider White Opal as a complementary stone, because its soft, opalescent field will beautifully offset the chrysoberyls intense, crystalline fire. As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company I invite you to hold this oval chrysoberyl and feel the narrative in its facets, experience the geometric faceting that allows maximum light play, and imagine how this gem will anchor a piece of jewellery that is both rooted in tradition and crafted for the present.
