1.92 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine slipping a warm, honeyed treasure into your palm, a gem that feels like a secret waiting to be shared, this 1.92 carat oval brown chrysoberyl from Ceylon Sri Lanka invites a moment of quiet joy, its translucent depth and medium intense color creating a soft, embracing glow, measured at 7.27 x 6.86 x 4.00 millimeters, cut as a smooth cabochon to showcase its inner life, graded slightly included at eye level so you can see natural character, finished with an excellent polish and carrying no enhancements, a true offering from nature and a perfect expression of affection when you give it as a gift. At The Natural Gemstone Company we see this stone not just as material, but as memory, because the way light slides across its surface and forms a gentle chatoyant band can make a ring, pendant, or keepsake feel like a living thing, reflecting the soft laughter of a moment shared, the steady comfort of a long love, and the thrill of giving someone an heirloom in the making. The cabochon cut amplifies that silky sheen, creating a graceful, almost secretive shimmer that draws the eye and warms the heart.

When we compare its reflective qualities to other gemstones in the chrysoberyl family and to similar chatoyant stones, its strengths become clear, chrysoberyl is prized for a high refractive index and wonderful luster, which means the polish looks brighter and the cat eye appears crisper than many quartz based tiger eye pieces, while tiger eye often shows broader golden bands, this Ceylon chrysoberyl produces a narrower, more defined eye that seems to glide across the surface, compared to star sapphires which display asterism from intersecting needle inclusions, the cat eye in chrysoberyl is simpler and more elegant, a single sharp ribbon of light rather than a star, alexandrite, another famed chrysoberyl variety, charms with dramatic color change rather than chatoyancy, so if you want a reflective magic that is calm and confidant rather than theatrical, this brown cabochon is ideal. Its durability, with chrysoberyl sitting well above common quartz in hardness, means this gem will hold its polish and shine through years of wear, becoming a living memory you will touch and see again and again, let The Natural Gemstone Company help you turn this exquisite Sri Lankan chrysoberyl into a gift that will make hearts quicken and memories last.
