2.05 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.05 carat radiant shape greenish yellow chrysoberyl is the perfect addition to a high end gemstone collection, offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company. Its dimensions of 8.58 x 6.68 x 3.91 mm place it squarely in the sweet spot for a striking ring or pendant centerpiece, while the radiant cut has been executed to maximize brilliance and symmetry. The gem displays a medium color intensity that reads as a refined greenish yellow, a tone that feels fresh and sophisticated rather than overtly bright or muted. Clarity is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a grade that ensures exceptional visual purity when set, and an excellent polish enhances light return so that the stone sparkles with crisp facet reflections. Crucially this chrysoberyl has no enhancement, a feature that discerning collectors prize, and its origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka speaks to a storied source that has produced many of the worlds most desirable chrysoberyls.

When compared to other market alternatives this gem stands out across quality value and uniqueness, a comparison that guides collectors toward a confident choice. Against peridot for example, this chrysoberyl offers superior durability and a more sophisticated color note, peridot often presents a more yellow dominant hue and can be softer and more prone to wear. Versus yellow sapphire this stone delivers a more exclusive color profile at a competitive price point, yellow sapphires are widely available in a range of treatments and color intensities, whereas this natural untreated chrysoberyl carries the rarity of a clear greenish yellow tone combined with no enhancement, a combination that enhances both aesthetic appeal and long term value. Compared to citrine and other common yellow gemstones, the chrysoberyl family offers greater hardness, with a hardness around 8.5 on the Mohs scale, which means it will withstand daily wear more readily and retain polish longer. The radiant cut itself gives an edge over classic shapes by blending geometric modernity with maximum light performance, so collectors who appreciate a contemporary silhouette will find this piece especially compelling.

A thoughtful collector will also recognize how the physical characteristics translate into design possibilities and long term collectability, and this chrysoberyl scores highly on both counts. The compact thickness and well proportioned pavilion implied by the 3.91 mm depth ensure a balance of face up presence and secure setting options, allowing jewelers to craft a bezel or prong design that protects the stone while showcasing its light and color. The medium color intensity allows flexibility in metal choice, white gold or platinum will emphasize brilliance and the cooler undertones of the greenish yellow, while warm gold tones will deepen the color and create a vintage sensibility. The very very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level means that under normal viewing conditions the gem appears clean and lively, which is a significant advantage over many market stones that require loupe cleaning to hide surface reaching features. For collectors focused on long term appreciation the combination of natural origin, no enhancement and high polish provides reassurance that this piece is a true natural specimen rather than a laboratory altered substitute.
