1.81 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

This one of a kind yellowish green chrysoberyl offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare combination of size, color intensity, and clarity that stands apart from other gems in the market, weighing 1.81 carats and measuring 7.35 x 6.35 x 4.36 mm, cushion shape, mixed brilliant cut. The gem is transparent, with a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish, with no enhancements and a Tanzanian origin. Compared to peridot, which can show a similar green hue but often suffers from softer durability and more conspicuous inclusions, this chrysoberyl offers superior hardness and longevity, making it ideal for daily wear. Compared to green tourmaline, which can be plentiful in larger sizes but often needs heat treatment to improve color, this untreated chrysoberyl commands a purer provenance and a more stable color over time. Compared to emerald, which while iconic often requires oiling or other enhancements to improve clarity, this chrysoberyl delivers intense color and high clarity without any treatments, which collectors and connoisseurs prize.

In the current gem market there is growing appreciation for untreated, well cut colored gems that combine visual appeal with geological provenance, and this Tanzanian chrysoberyl fits that brief exceptionally well. Tanzania has produced some of the most desirable colored gemstones over recent years, and proven origin enhances desirability among collectors. The mixed brilliant cut in a cushion outline maximizes brilliance and color saturation, allowing the intense yellowish green to flash with life under a variety of lighting conditions. The very slightly included clarity means the stone looks clean to the naked eye, a major advantage over many stones in a similar price range where inclusions can detract from face up brilliance. When set against alternatives like synthetic stones, which can match color but not provenance or the natural story, or against other natural gems that require enhancement, this chrysoberyl stands out for its natural purity and finishing. For buyers who compare value on the basis of raw visual appeal, durability, and natural state, this gem offers a superior proposition.

From an investment perspective this chrysoberyl presents strong potential for future appreciation, while remaining a beautiful wearable gem from day one. Several market forces support this view, starting with constrained supply for high quality, untreated chrysoberyl in sizes approaching two carats, especially with intense color and excellent polish. As consumer tastes broaden beyond traditional blue and red gems toward more distinctive green and yellow green tones, demand among designers and collectors rises, enhancing liquidity for well documented pieces. The fact that this gem is untreated is significant, because natural untreated stones often command higher premiums at auction and in private sales over the long term, compared to enhanced or synthetic counterparts. Provenance from Tanzania and a clean eye level clarity grade add measurable value, and the very wearable 1.81 carat weight places the stone in a sweet spot for both collectors seeking investment grade parcels and jewelers wanting to create high impact, marketable pieces. While no investment is without risk, this chrysoberyl combines scarcity, aesthetic quality, and a natural state in a way that suggests a favorable risk reward profile for those who buy with a medium to long term horizon.
