2.53 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a hush to this stone, a soft green that gathers light like the first days of spring, an intimate green chrysoberyl weighing 2.53 carats, carved into a gentle oval cabochon that measures 7.83 x 6.71 x 4.48 mm. The cabochon cut invites a slow discovery, a curved mirror for the soul where translucence and color play together. Its intense color intensity reads like a private poem, a hue that feels both ancient and immediate, and an excellent polish throws back small moons of reflected light. Slightly included when viewed at eye level, this chrysoberyl carries the small marks of formation like fingerprints from the earth, intimate reminders that this beauty was born under pressure and time. The surface is smooth beneath the hand, the dome soft and warm, and the overall presence is that of a quiet, almost secret radiance that draws the gaze and holds it.

What elevates this gem from mere beauty to heritage is its place of origin, Ceylon Sri Lanka, a land where gemstones have been unearthed for millennia, where legend and geology meet to produce stones of singular character. The soils of Ceylon are a storyteller, they spare no detail, they yield chrysoberyl with a depth of tone and clarity that collectors and lovers of fine gems seek. To own a stone from Ceylon is to carry a fragment of those storied hills, to wear a piece of a landscape that has long supplied crowns and keepsakes, offerings and oaths. The provenance is not mere marketing, it is a provenance that speaks of specific geologic conditions, of miners who know secret veins, of rough that has been cut and polished with knowledge passed down across generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we treasure that lineage, we disclose that this chrysoberyl has been heat treated, an enhancement used to coax out its inner fire and to stabilize the color, while preserving the natural character and the slight inclusions that confirm its natural origin and authenticity.

Imagine this gem set as the heart of a promise, the green like a whispered vow, the cabochon shape inviting caresses and contemplations. In a ring held close, in a pendant that rests against the chest, this chrysoberyl will become a companion to memory, a living talisman of seasons and change. The slight inclusions are not flaws to be hidden, they are tiny maps of the stone's journey, each one a silent testament to the pressures and passages that shaped it. The heat treatment is simple truth, a gentle hand used to reveal the best of what the earth has given, and the excellent polish is the final gesture that allows light to move across the dome with sleek, sensual ease. Whether paired with warm gold to draw out olive notes or set in cool platinum to emphasize a forest green, the stone adapts and responds like a heart that learns a new rhythm.

To choose this chrysoberyl is to make a deliberate choice for depth, for story, for a color that does not shout but that accumulates meaning with each day. The balance of size and presence, 2.53 carats and a gracious oval silhouette, offers a statement that is intimate yet undeniable.
