2.62 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush landscapes of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, nestled a hidden treasure formed over millions of years. Deep beneath its rich earth lay a raw chrysoberyl, waiting for the perfect moment to be unearthed. This particular gemstone, a stunningly transparent yellowish green specimen, was shaped by forces unseen into something extraordinary, measuring at 8.45 x 8.43 x 5.26 mm and weighing in at 2.62 carats.

The journey of this chrysoberyl begins amidst tropical forests and vibrant wildlife, where the warmth of the sun kissed the earth and imbued it with vibrant hues. Carefully extracted by skilled miners who understood the land’s secret gifts, it embarked on its first steps toward transformation. Our association with artisanal miners ensures not only the integrity of every piece but also supports sustainable practices, making each gemstone a testament to nature's grandeur and human craftsmanship.

Once retrieved from the depths, this chrysoberyl underwent a meticulous process of cutting and polishing, bringing forth its latent glow. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to highlight its captivating color, a rare blend of yellow and green that seems to carry the essence of its tropical origins. Through expert hands, it was shaped with precision, revealing a gemstone with an excellent polish that requires no enhancement to display its full glory. Its medium intense color intensity brings to mind the swelling hues at the heart of a sun-drenched rainforest.
