19.10 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Step back into the storied past and immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of our GRS certified Greenish Yellow "Honey" chrysoberyl offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. This exceptional 19.10 carat gemstone hails from the mystical island of Ceylon, today known as Sri Lanka, a land steeped in history and renowned for its treasure trove of mineral wealth. With dimensions of 15.80 by 13.86 by 9.20 mm, this cabochon-cut chrysoberyl perfectly encapsulates the enduring allure and rich legacy of gemstones that have captivated humanity for centuries.

Chrysoberyl, often revered since ancient times, is celebrated not only for its entrancing palette but also for its extraordinary optical characteristics. The greenish yellow hue, reminiscent of warm honey tinged with the whisper of fresh verdant foliage, exudes a unique elegance. This particular chrysoberyl promises an exquisite depth of color with medium intense color intensity, offering a vibrant spectacle that is a feast for the eyes and a rare find in the world of gemstones. Its clarity, graded as very slightly included, ensures that the gem remains a testament to the brilliant craftsmanship that enhances, rather than overshadows, its innate beauty.

When contemplating the reflective qualities of gemstones, chrysoberyl occupies a unique position. Compared to the dazzling brilliance of diamonds or the cool shimmer of sapphires, chrysoberyl offers a subtler, more understated glow. The cabochon cut further amplifies this effect, inviting light to caress its smooth, dome-shaped surface, resulting in a soft, luminous radiance that is highly prized by connoisseurs and collectors alike. This is not merely a gem that reflects light; it is one that seems to gather it, radiating warmth and elegance effortlessly.

Originating from Ceylon, this chrysoberyl carries with it a legacy ingrained in the cultural and geological richness of its birthplace. Sri Lanka’s landscapes have yielded some of the most significant and majestic gemstones in history, and this chrysoberyl is no exception. The island has long been a revered source of these rare jewels, with their characteristic clarity, unique hues, and impeccable polish echoing through the annals of time. Our chrysoberyl is no different, bearing an excellent polish that enhances its natural luster and grace, ensuring it remains a cherished heirloom for generations to come.

Owning a gemstone like our Greenish Yellow "Honey" chrysoberyl is not merely about possession; it is about becoming the custodian of a piece of history, a weave in the tapestry of the earth's natural wonders.
