2.00 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that announce themselves with a quiet confidence, and then there are rare treasures that whisper of islands and monsoons and hands that have tended them for generations. This translucent chrysoberyl is one of those rare treasures, a 2.00 carat round shape greenish yellow chrysoberyl with dimensions of 7.03 by 7.00 by 4.17 millimeters, rendered in a classic cabochon cut that lets light breathe through its heart. Its medium light color intensity gives it an inner glow that is at once refined and arresting, a tone that is neither timid nor showy, perfect for someone seeking an elegant statement that remains unmistakably unique. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a natural fingerprint that confirms its authenticity and provenance without distracting from its beauty. No enhancement has been applied, and the excellent polish speaks to the patient hands that brought this stone from rough to refined. When you hold it, you will sense that it is not mass produced, but chosen, shaped, and finished as if it were for a private collection.

The journey of this chrysoberyl begins deep within the famed gem producing regions of Ceylon Sri Lanka, an island whose soils have given the world countless legendary gems. Local miners working in small, highly skilled teams discovered a piece of rough that suggested an uncommon harmony of color and translucency. The rough was handled with the kind of care only possible in artisanal operations, sorted by experience rather than by machine, and set aside for a cutter who specializes in bringing out the subtle life of cabochon stones. The cutting process was deliberate, focusing on preserving weight and accentuating the greenish yellow hue, allowing the stone to reveal a soft inner radiance rather than a loud flash. Every stage of the transformation honored the stone's natural character, from the initial planing to the final polishing, ensuring that the cabochon profile cradled light in the way the original miner must have imagined when first prying the rough from the earth.

When the stone arrived on our shores, The Natural Gemstone Company assessed it with the same reverence it received in the field, verifying that its natural, unenhanced condition remained intact, and confirming its dimensions and weight with exacting standards. Our gemologists noted the very slightly included clarity at eye level as an affirmation of natural origin rather than a flaw, and they highlighted the excellent polish as the finishing touch that elevates this chrysoberyl into the category of heirloom quality. We offer this gem as a singular opportunity, because stones of this specific character and provenance are seldom available more than once. Owning this chrysoberyl places you among a select group who appreciate provenance, natural beauty, and exceptional craftsmanship. It is an invitation to possess a piece of Ceylon history, a stone that remembers the damp earth and the steady hands that coaxed it free, and that now awaits a new chapter in a collection that values rarity and authenticity. If you seek a gemstone that is both understated and unmistakable, that carries a story from mine to market, this cabochon chrysoberyl stands ready to be claimed.
