1.75 Ct. Yellowish Green Chrysoberyl from Madagascar

This listing describes a single transparent chrysoberyl, one point seven five carat, presented in a classic emerald cut. The stone displays a yellowish green hue with intense color saturation, and it measures seven point eight zero x five point eight one x three point eight seven millimeters. Clarity is assessed as very slightly included when examined at eye level, and the piece has been finished to an excellent polish. There are no enhancements, and the gem is reported to originate from Madagascar. These objective attributes convey both the intrinsic quality of the crystal and its appeal as a measured, natural specimen. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this description to allow for comparison with other gemstones and to support informed selection for collectors and for precision jewelry work.

The emerald cut emphasizes clean geometry and controlled light return, which suits stones that have notable color and a transparent clarity grade. The parallel step facets create broad flash and a subtle play of tone across the table and pavilion, rendering the intense yellowish green evenly across the field of view. Given the dimensions, the gem will present a broad table and a shallow to moderate pavilion depth that is well suited to both solitaire and halo mounting designs, particularly where a linear, architectural aesthetic is desired. The very slightly included clarity grade indicates that inclusions are minor and typically not distracting to the naked eye, allowing the color and polish to remain the dominant visual factors. An excellent polish enhances surface brightness and contributes to a clean outline, which is especially important in an emerald cut where facet edges and symmetry are readily apparent. The absence of enhancements confirms that the color and clarity are inherent to the stone as extracted, which may be a relevant consideration for those who prioritize natural, untreated material.

In terms of durability, chrysoberyl ranks at eight point five on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This places it above common jewelry gemstones such as topaz and quartz, and just below corundum family stones like sapphires and rubies which are nine. Diamond is the hardest at ten. At eight point five on the Mohs scale, chrysoberyl combines substantial resistance to scratches with sufficient toughness for regular wear in rings, bracelets, pendants, and earrings when set with appropriate protective settings. The emerald cut can expose corners, so settings that protect the stone with prongs or bezel details are advisable for rings intended for everyday use. Routine care consists of gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. For mechanical safety, remove the piece during heavy manual work or activities that risk impact. The Natural Gemstone Company includes these technical considerations to assist in matching the stone to the intended use, and to provide practical guidance on care and longevity.
