1.84 Ct. Greenish Brown Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing describes a single translucent chrysoberyl, weight 1.84 carat, oval shape, dimensions 5.99 x 5.83 x 5.12 mm, cabochon cut, with a clarity grade slightly included evaluated at eye level, medium intense greenish brown color intensity, and an excellent polish. The gem is natural with no enhancement, origin Ceylon Sri Lanka. As chrysoberyl is a durable species with Mohs hardness about 8.5 and refractive index in the range 1.743 to 1.755, the material combines practical wearability with optical stability, making it suitable for daily wear settings. The cabochon cut presented here emphasizes the stone volume and color uniformity, allowing the translucent body color to read consistently under varied lighting, while the excellent polish maximizes surface luster and light return. The slightly included clarity grade indicates minor internal features that are visible to the unaided eye under close inspection, a common and acceptable characteristic in natural chrysoberyl that serves as evidence of authenticity and natural origin rather than laboratory treatment.

For the educated buyer this specimen offers a balance of important attributes, provenance, and practical considerations that enhance its collector and jewelry value. The medium intense greenish brown hue from Ceylon Sri Lanka is desirable for its natural tone and even saturation, and the absence of enhancements means color and clarity are natural and stable over time. The compact oval dimensions make this gem straightforward to set in custom or traditional jewelry, particularly in cabochon friendly designs such as bezel settings that protect the dome while displaying the rich body color. Slight inclusions do not compromise the structural integrity due to the inherent toughness of chrysoberyl, and they contribute to the gemological story that many connoisseurs prefer. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company this chrysoberyl is presented with straightforward grading and provenance, suitable for collectors seeking an unenhanced Ceylon piece or for designers who require a durable, attractively colored cabochon. For care we recommend routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding extreme heat and harsh chemicals, and professional inspection before setting to ensure the mounting complements the stone and preserves its polish and natural character.
