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

This chrysoberyl begins its story deep within the ancient gem gravels of Ceylon, where centuries of weather and time have concentrated beautiful crystals into pockets that gem hunters still prize today. From the moment this rough was unearthed, its greenish brown hue and translucent promise set it apart, a quiet intensity waiting to be released. Skilled hands from Sri Lanka studied the rough, honoring the island’s generations of lapidary tradition, and decided that a classic cabochon would best reveal the stone’s inner glow. The result is a smooth, oval dome that captures light and turns it into a warm, luminous presence, a gemstone that speaks of place and patience long before it meets a setting.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we select and present this piece for both its character and its technical excellence, the kind of gem that becomes a true statement piece. This chrysoberyl weighs 1.85 carats and measures 7.15 by 7.04 by 3.97 millimeters, an oval silhouette that balances presence and wearability, large enough to command attention while still comfortable for everyday wear. Its cabochon cut and excellent polish enhance the stone’s translucency and intense color intensity, allowing the greenish brown tones to shift and deepen with movement. The clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, which means the gem is remarkably clean to the unaided eye, offering a bright, open field of color that reads as pristine when set. Importantly, this chrysoberyl is completely natural with no enhancement, a direct testament to the integrity of its origin and our commitment to honest gemstones.

Imagine this cabochon as the centerpiece of a bespoke ring or a pendant that rests near the heart, a single gem that anchors a design with effortless authority. Its size and clarity make it ideal for a statement piece, a gem that does not need elaborate surroundings to be noticed, but instead elevates any setting with a timeless, natural elegance. From Sri Lankan creek to the careful polish that finished its surface, this chrysoberyl carries with it a story of land, craft, and enduring beauty, presented to you by The Natural Gemstone Company, where provenance and quality meet to create heirloom potential.
