2.06 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing presents one beautiful translucent chrysoberyl from Ceylon Sri Lanka, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, weighing 2.06 carat and fashioned into an elegant oval shape with dimensions of 8.00 x 6.34 x 4.92 mm. The gem is finished as a cabochon cut, which emphasizes body color and surface luster, and it displays a yellowish green hue with medium color intensity that reads consistently across light sources. The combination of size and shape makes this specimen a versatile choice for a range of settings, from an understated solitaire to a classic bezel, and the cabochon profile ensures that the stone sits securely while revealing its internal character. The polished dome of this chrysoberyl displays an excellent polish, giving the surface a bright reflective sheen that complements the stone translucency, and the overall presentation is one that will appeal to collectors and designers who value naturally attractive material in wearable sizes.

From a clarity and gemological perspective this piece is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a grade that educated buyers recognize as a balance between natural character and visual cleanliness. The inclusions are small and not disruptive to the gem aesthetic, they contribute to the stone provenance story without detracting from light transmission, and they are consistent with natural chrysoberyl formation in alluvial and pegmatitic environments. Chrysoberyl is a hard and durable species with a Mohs hardness around 8.5, a characteristic that enhances the stone utility in daily wear jewelry, and the cabochon cutting style coupled with excellent polish further reduces the risk of showing surface wear while maximizing the perception of depth in the yellowish green body color. Because this gem is untreated and has no enhancement, as evaluated by our gemological team, buyers benefit from the stability and long term value associated with natural, unenhanced material, a point that is especially important for collectors who prioritize provenance and integrity over artificially improved appearance.

Origin adds measurable value to gems, and Ceylon Sri Lanka is a historic and well respected source for fine chrysoberyl material, known for producing stones with attractive color range and good crystallographic quality. The yellowish green tone in this specimen is most commonly attributed to iron trace elements in the chrysoberyl structure, and the medium intensity presents a pleasing and wearable color that sits between delicate pastel and strong saturated tones, offering both elegance and versatility. Market demand for natural Sri Lankan chrysoberyl is steady, particularly for pieces in the 2 carat range that combine translucency, attractive color, and minimal visible inclusions, and the absence of enhancements typically places such a stone at a premium to similarly colored treated material. For buyers considering this gem for investment or bespoke jewelry, we recommend evaluation under standardized lighting and optional independent certification for documentation, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the natural origin and described characteristics to the best of our gemological assessment, providing detailed images and measurements to assist with appraisal and design decisions. This chrysoberyl is an excellent example of a naturally appealing, well finished cabochon that will satisfy discerning buyers seeking a durable, unenhanced colored gem with credible provenance and dependable performance in wearable settings.
