2.48 Ct. Yellowish Green Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

Presenting a finely balanced and transparent chrysoberyl, weighing 2.48 carat, cut in the classic asscher octagon shape, with dimensions 7.41 by 6.60 by 4.92 millimeters. This stone displays a yellowish green hue with medium color intensity, and it is fashioned as a faceted gemstone with an asscher cut that emphasizes clarity and internal reflection. Its clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that small inclusions are present but do not detract from the overall presence and sparkle of the gem. The polish on this stone is excellent, and importantly, there has been no enhancement, so what you see is the natural character of the material. Origin is Tanzania, a source known for producing fine chrysoberyl specimens, and this piece presents a compelling combination of weight, dimensions, and transparency that makes it exceptional for collectors and makers alike.

From a gemological perspective chrysoberyl is prized for its toughness and brilliance, and this example benefits from the asscher cut that uses step facets to create a hall of mirrors effect, giving the pavilion and crown an elegant depth and structured light return. The asscher cut is particularly flattering to stones with excellent transparency because the step facets emphasize clarity and color nuance rather than relying exclusively on refractive sparkle. With a slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level the inclusions tend to be small and localized, often visible only under careful inspection and sometimes serving as natural fingerprints that confirm the gem is untreated. The medium color intensity in this yellowish green range is balanced and wearable, offering a rich appearance without overwhelming the metal or design in which it is set. Because there is no enhancement the stone retains full market value and appeal to educated buyers who prioritize natural state and verifiable origin.

The dimensions 7.41 by 6.60 by 4.92 millimeters combined with a 2.48 carat weight make this chrysoberyl an ideal candidate for a statement piece, particularly a solitaire ring or a central pendant where the shape and proportions can be showcased. The asscher cut lends itself beautifully to designs that celebrate geometry and precision, such as a four prong open gallery setting that allows light to enter and reflect through the parallel step facets, or a halo setting that adds a surrounding frame of smaller stones to accentuate size and color without masking the asscher profile. For clients seeking a bold yet refined look a cocktail ring set in platinum or warm yellow gold will underscore the yellowish green tones and present the gem prominently on the hand. For a more modern interpretation a bezel setting with high polish can secure the stone while offering a sleek silhouette, and because the gem has a well controlled depth at 4.92 millimeters it will sit comfortably and securely in most standard mounting styles. Whether used in an heirloom style ring, a dignified pendant, or a bespoke brooch, the combination of carat weight and clarity ensures that this chrysoberyl will read as a true center stone that commands attention.

As specialists at The Natural Gemstone Company we place a premium on provenance, honesty in grading, and responsible sourcing, and this Tanzanian chrysoberyl fits squarely within those commitments. Tanzanian deposits are known for producing chrysoberyl with attractive tones and solid crystallographic quality, and the presence of minor inclusions together with the lack of enhancement supports a strong narrative for natural origin. For buyers who are seeking documentation we can discuss independent gemological reports to corroborate the clarity assessment and origin, and we can provide detailed photographs and videos to aid in evaluation. From a practical standpoint chrysoberyl has a hardness of 8.5 on the Mohs scale which makes it well suited for everyday wear in rings as well as in pendants, and its stability under normal wear conditions enhances its desirability as a long term investment. The combined factors of a considered asscher cut, a desirable 2.48 carat weight, medium color intensity, excellent polish, and no treatments explain the value proposition for this stone, and our team is available to advise on setting options, certification, or bespoke design to ensure that the finished piece aligns with the buyers aesthetic and technical requirements.
