2.66 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent, other certified yellowish green, 2.66 carat oval shaped greenish yellow chrysoberyl presents an exceptional combination of weight, color, and finish that sets it apart from the usual market offerings. Measuring 8.64 by 6.87 by 4.62 millimeters, the stone carries a satisfying presence without overwhelming a refined setting. The cabochon cut enhances the gem way that faceting cannot for this material, producing a soft, even glow and maximizing the intense color intensity that collectors prize. Clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which maintains visual purity while confirming natural origin. The polish is excellent, there has been no enhancement, and the stone originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing chrysoberyl with stable color and reliable crystal quality. At The Natural Gemstone Company this specimen is offered with transparent information about origin and treatment, giving buyers confidence in what they are acquiring.

When compared to other pieces in the current market, the 2.66 carat weight of this chrysoberyl is a defining advantage, because chrysoberyl of this hue and translucency becomes markedly rarer as size increases. Smaller stones under 1 carat are plentiful and affordable, but they do not convey the same visual impact or long term value potential. Treated or glass filled stones may mimic color at lower cost, but they lack the natural stability and resale appeal of an untreated Ceylon chrysoberyl. Buyers seeking a balance of rarity and wearability will find this piece superior to many faceted stones that lose their color depth under brilliancy, and superior to common trade material that requires enhancement to appear attractive. The weight also benefits design flexibility, enabling both prominent solitaire settings and elegant pendants without resorting to exaggerated dimensions. For investors and collectors alike, the combination of certified origin, no enhancement, intense color, and a substantial yet manageable 2.66 carat weight creates a compelling value proposition. At The Natural Gemstone Company we focus on sourcing and presenting gemstones whose physical attributes and documented provenance make them meaningful additions to collections, and this greenish yellow chrysoberyl exemplifies that standard.
