2.21 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful translucent 2.21 carat round green chrysoberyl, measuring 6.79 by 6.86 by 5.01 mm, presents a rare combination of color, clarity, and craftsmanship, and comes to you from Ceylon Sri Lanka. This gem has been fashioned as a cabochon cut to enhance its inner glow, and it is graded very slightly included at eye level, with a medium intense green color and an excellent polish. There has been no enhancement to alter its natural appearance, and the clean presentation and refined surface quality allow light to play across the dome in a lively, satin like manner. The size and translucency make this stone versatile for a variety of settings, and the natural Ceylon origin speaks to a heritage of carefully sourced, well formed chrysoberyl that collectors and designers seek.

Compared with more common green gemstones this chrysoberyl stands apart, and understanding those differences helps make an informed choice. Diamonds achieve intense brilliance through high dispersion and faceting, producing a lively sparkle, but chrysoberyl yields a different and equally appealing type of light return, a crisp and steady internal radiance owing to its relatively high refractive index and excellent polish, especially when presented as a cabochon. Emeralds often exhibit deep green color, yet they are frequently heavily included and commonly treated, which compromises durability and clarity under everyday wear, while this chrysoberyl shows very slight inclusions at eye level and requires no enhancement. Peridot and many green sapphires can display bright color when faceted, however they tend to either show a different tone or lack the satiny, luminous depth that a well cut chrysoberyl cabochon provides. Additionally chrysoberyl scores high for toughness, offering better resistance to wear than many softer greens, making it both a practical and beautiful choice for frequently worn jewelry. By choosing this gem through The Natural Gemstone Company you receive a natural, unenhanced piece with proven origin, thoughtful cutting, and superb polish, a stone that offers a distinctive, sophisticated green that reads as both refined and resilient, perfect for someone who wants a green gem that stands out from more familiar options on the market.
