2.63 Ct. Green Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This specimen is a translucent round shape green chrysoberyl weighing 2.63 carats, with precise dimensions of 7.61 by 7.74 by 4.90 millimeters. The gem is fashioned as a classic cabochon, exhibiting a symmetrical domed profile and a well controlled girdle thickness that preserves weight while maintaining wearable proportions. Color is evaluated as light intensity green, with even distribution across the dome and no detectable banding under standard viewing conditions. Clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with only minor pinpoint and hairline internal features visible when examined against a neutral background, and these inclusions do not materially affect the visual integrity or translucency. Polish is excellent, producing smooth specular reflections and a clean light band along the dome that demonstrates both the quality of the lapidary work and the stone fluidity. This chrysoberyl is unenhanced, with no heat treatment or surface coatings, and is of Ceylon Sri Lanka origin, a classic source known for fine crystalline growth and stable body color. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this piece as a natural, untreated collector grade cabochon suitable for both connoisseurs and precision jewelry applications.

From a gemological perspective this chrysoberyl benefits from the species high hardness and durability, with a Mohs hardness of approximately 8.5 ensuring resistance to abrasion and suitability for daily wear when set properly. Refractive properties and specific gravity are consistent with gem quality chrysoberyl, supporting the observed light performance and translucency. The cabochon cut enhances color saturation and internal depth, making the most of the light scattering characteristics of the material while minimizing the visibility of minor inclusions. For mounting recommendations a secure bezel setting is preferred to protect the domed surface and to present the stone with lateral light entry for optimal optical presence. For clients requiring documentation The Natural Gemstone Company can provide detailed observations and can facilitate independent gemological verification upon request. This piece will appeal to buyers who value technical excellence in cutting and finishing, natural origin certainty, and the enduring structural properties that make chrysoberyl a practical choice for fine jewelry.
