Product description

This specimen is a transparent 2.08 carat cushion shape green chrysoberyl, precisely measured at 7.58 by 7.09 by 4.56 millimeters. The gem has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances pavilion faceting for light return with a crown design that emphasizes surface brilliance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem when viewed without magnification. The color presents with an intense color intensity and a clean saturation that remains vivid across the table and pavilion, and the polish is excellent, delivering crisp facet junctions and a smooth, reflective surface. No enhancement has been applied to this stone, and its natural transparency and hue are preserved, offering a direct representation of its Tanzanian origin.

Optically the stone exhibits a lively interaction with light, the mixed brilliant cut enabling strong scintillation combined with an even spread of color. The cushion outline provides a classic silhouette that concentrates color toward the center without producing an overly dark appearance at the culet. Given the very slightly included clarity grade at eye level, light transmission is largely unobstructed, and the stone retains a lively face up appearance. The intense color intensity is closely aligned with the gemstone species typical brightness range, producing a green that is immediate and arresting, yet refined rather than aggressive. The excellent polish enhances both brilliance and luster, and facet symmetry contributes to consistent sparkle under varied lighting conditions.

When compared to chrysoberyl and other green gems from established localities, this Tanzanian piece displays distinct hue and tone characteristics. Relative to Sri Lankan chrysoberyl, which often leans toward a lighter, more golden or yellowish green with a softer tone, this Tanzanian gem carries a richer and more saturated green, with less yellow bias and a slightly deeper mid tone. Compared with Brazilian material, which can range from olive to brighter green depending on source, this stone sits toward the more vivid end of the spectrum, offering greater purity of green and a cleaner tonal balance. Russian and Ural region chrysoberyl specimens are sometimes noted for a cooler, slightly bluish green or for color change characteristics in alexandrite varieties, features not present here, making this Tanzanian gem notably different in warmth and single hue stability. In relation to green gemstones of other species, this chrysoberyl’s hue is greener and less blue than many green sapphires from Australia and Montana, which frequently exhibit darker tones and a stronger blue component. Compared with tsavorite garnet from East Africa, which often exhibits an intense, slightly bluish green and a highly saturated tone, the chrysoberyl presents a more yellow influenced green and a different refractive response, yielding a distinctively crisp brilliance rather than the deep verdant glow typical of tsavorite. Compared with Colombian emeralds, which tend toward a bluish green with a deep tone and characteristically dense saturation often accompanied by visible inclusions, this chrysoberyl is brighter, more transparent, and shows higher brilliance with generally clearer clarity at face up viewing.

The provenance from Tanzania informs both its character and its market profile, and the absence of enhancement confirms that the color and clarity are intrinsic to the natural crystal. For setting considerations the stone’s cushion shape and mixed brilliant faceting suit a variety of mountings where light performance and secure bezel or prong placement are important. The measured depth and pavilion design support strong light return, and the very slightly included clarity grade means routine jeweler handling and setting processes can be performed without concern for hidden fractures or structural instability. From a care perspective chrysoberyl is a durable species with good hardness and resistance to abrasion, and routine cleaning with warm, soapy water and a soft brush is appropriate to maintain luster. The Natural Gemstone Company documents this gem as a natural, untreated Tanzanian chrysoberyl, and the description above reflects its measured specifications and visual character, supporting informed decisions for collectors and setting professionals seeking a transparent, intensely colored green chrysoberyl with refined optical performance.
