2.66 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.66 carat oval greenish yellow chrysoberyl from Ceylon, Other certified Yellowish Green, measuring 8.64 x 6.87 x 4.62 mm, presents a rare combination of attributes that set it apart from most stones on the market. Its cabochon cut and semi translucent body allow the intense color intensity to glow evenly across the dome, while the very very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level and the excellent polish deliver a clean, lively appearance in hand or in jewelry. Unlike many emeralds and yellow sapphires that are commonly treated or heavily included, this gem is completely natural with no enhancement, a factor that commands a premium in the market. Compared with peridot and citrine, which are abundant and often lower in durability, chrysoberyl is significantly harder and more resistant to wear, making it a superior choice for everyday pieces such as rings and bracelets, which supports long term preservation of beauty and value.

From an investment standpoint this Ceylon chrysoberyl offers compelling upside. Natural, untreated stones of intense color and high clarity are increasingly sought by collectors and designers, and the provenance from Sri Lanka adds recognized pedigree. Supply of high quality chrysoberyl of this weight and hue is limited, especially in cabochon form where the color presentation is optimal, so scarcity combined with growing demand tends to drive appreciation over time. Compared to mass market gems that rely on treatments for visual appeal, this gem maintains a truer intrinsic value profile and tends to be more liquid to collectors who prioritize natural condition. At The Natural Gemstone Company we find that pieces like this perform well as both aesthetic centerpieces and as portfolio diversifiers, offering long term potential due to rarity, durability, and natural state. For buyers seeking a tangible asset with beauty and future appreciation potential, this yellowish green chrysoberyl represents a balanced, higher quality alternative to more common colored stones.
