2.02 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

Across centuries and continents gemstones have carried meaning and memory, and this green chrysoberyl is no exception. Sourced from the mineral rich lands of Tanzania, this transparent 2.02 carat cushion shape chrysoberyl embodies the same timeless appeal that has made this species prized since antiquity. Chrysoberyl has long been admired for its exceptional hardness and enduring polish, a resilience that made it a favored stone for signet rings and talismans that were intended to last for generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that legacy, offering this gem as an invitation to own a piece of gemological history, a stone that reads as classic and composed in any era, yet alive with a presence that feels utterly contemporary.

What distinguishes this gem is its exceptional cutting and finishing, every facet engineered to maximize light play and color depth. The cushion shape, measured at 7.99 by 5.74 by 4.61 mm, is cut in a mixed brilliant style to combine the soft, romantic silhouette of the cushion with the scintillating fire of modern brilliant faceting. The result is a stone that flashes with lively brilliance and a deep, intense green that holds the eye. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is slightly included, a testament to the natural character of the gem rather than an impediment to its beauty, and those small inclusions add to the story and authenticity of the piece. An excellent polish allows each facet junction to act like a tiny mirror, producing a finish so refined that the stone reads as both luminous and full of depth, making it an immediate focal point in any collection.

This chrysoberyl is untreated, with no enhancements, which reinforces its appeal as an enduring heirloom investment. Natural, intense color, combined with a superior cut and finish, gives this gem a presence that suits classic settings and historical designs as readily as it complements contemporary settings that celebrate minimalism and purity. Imagine a single stone solitaire ring that becomes a family seal, a pendant worn against the heart that conjures stories, or a bespoke brooch that echoes the grandeur of antique jewelry while functioning with the reliability of a modern treasure. At The Natural Gemstone Company we are dedicated to matching fine gemstones with thoughtful craftsmanship, and this Tanzanian chrysoberyl is presented with full transparency about its character, dimensions, and origin, so you can select or commission a setting with confidence.

Owning a gem like this is more than a purchase, it is a choice to preserve beauty and legacy, to carry forward an object that will gain resonance with time. The 2.02 carat weight, the cushion silhouette, the mixed brilliant cut, the intense green coloration, and the excellent polish all conspire to make this chrysoberyl a center of attention, whether set alone or paired with classic accents. If you value tradition, authenticity, and the quiet assurance of a stone that has been formed and finished with respect, this gem represents a rare opportunity. The Natural Gemstone Company invites collectors and connoisseurs to experience this chrysoberyl in person, to appreciate how light and form combine in a stone that speaks to the past while remaining a luminous statement for the future.
