2.02 Ct. Yellowish Green Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

This 2.02 carat cushion shaped yellowish green chrysoberyl from Tanzania offers a rare combination of size, clarity, and natural color that immediately sets it apart from the more common green gemstones on the market, such as peridot and prasiolite. At dimensions of 6.92 x 5.90 x 5.49 mm, this gem reads as substantial yet wearable, making it a versatile choice for both statement rings and elegant pendants. The faceted mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize light return and color dispersion, and the excellent polish enhances its crisp, reflective facets. With a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone retains a clean appearance in typical jewelry settings, while the lack of any enhancement confirms that you are acquiring a fully natural specimen, direct from reputable sources associated with The Natural Gemstone Company.

Color is the defining characteristic of this chrysoberyl, and its medium intensity yellowish green hue will stand out in any jewelry setting, whether mounted alone or surrounded by accent stones. Unlike some greens that can appear flat or overly saturated, this gemstone exhibits a fresh, luminous tone that changes subtly with light, offering both sunny warmth and cool, leafy nuance. The mixed brilliant faceting lends a lively play of light that makes the color appear to glow from within, a contrast to many commercial alternatives where color may sit only on the surface. Compared to green sapphire and tourmaline, this chrysoberyl offers a distinctive coloration that is less common and more immediately eye catching, while compared to peridot it provides greater durability and long term wearability. Set in yellow gold, the yellow undertones are amplified for a warm, vintage inspired look, while white gold or platinum will bring forward the green cooling notes for a modern chic aesthetic. This adaptability to different metals and design styles means the gem will make a statement in solitaire settings, halo designs, vintage inspired clusters, and bespoke artisan mountings alike.

Beyond its visual appeal, this chrysoberyl represents exceptional value for collectors and jewelry buyers who prioritize natural, untreated stones. Unenhanced gemstones of this size and with such a pleasing medium intensity color are uncommon in the marketplace, and the Tanzanian origin adds a layer of provenance that many buyers appreciate when comparing similar items. In practical terms, chrysoberyl scores high for durability with a Mohs hardness around 8.5, which makes it more resistant to daily wear than many other green gems, and a smart choice for rings that are intended to be worn frequently. When you compare this stone to synthetics or heat treated stones, the natural light response and the subtle internal character of this piece reveal a depth and individuality that manufactured stones cannot replicate. The slight inclusions present do not detract from the sparkle, rather they confirm natural formation and provide character that collectors often seek, and the excellent polish ensures that the surface finish will complement a high quality mount.

If you are looking to commission a piece that will draw attention for its color, resilience, and authentic origin, this 2.02 carat Tanzanian chrysoberyl from The Natural Gemstone Company is an outstanding candidate. Its balance of size, cut, and natural color creates a gem that is both striking and practical, and its untreated status signals a long term investment in beauty rather than a temporary effect achieved by enhancement. Whether you prefer a modern clean bezel, a classic prong solitaire, or a detailed antique inspired setting, the gem will hold its own and elevate the design.
