2.70 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.70 carat radiant shape yellow chrysoberyl measures 9.57 x 6.78 x 4.80 mm, and presents a medium color intensity with excellent polish. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and the material is unenhanced, originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The stone is cut in the radiant style to marry the optical advantages of a brilliant facet arrangement with the clean lines and trimmed corners typical of an emerald derivative. The result is a rectangular outline that sits elegantly on the finger, and an optical performance that emphasizes both focused return of light and broad scintillation across the table and crown facets.

The radiant cut in this specimen has been executed to leverage chrysoberyl characteristically high refractive index, which produces strong internal reflection and contrast when facets are proportioned to favorable angles. The combination of a faceted crown with multiple small star and kite facets, and a pavilion composed of tapered brilliant facets, creates a controlled interplay of light reflection and refraction. Light entering the table is captured by the crown facets, redirected to the pavilion, and returned as concentrated flashes and soft flashes alternately, enhancing perceived brightness and lively scintillation. The trimmed corners and step influenced girdle facets reduce windowing, maintaining color saturation in the body while allowing flashes of lighter tones to play at facet junctions. Excellent polish minimizes surface diffusion, preserving crisp facet junctions that intensify contrast and allow the medium yellow hue to read cleanly under mixed lighting.

From a craftsmanship perspective this gem has been calibrated for practical wear as a center stone, with depth and table proportions chosen to balance face up size and optical return. The absence of enhancement means thermal or clarity treatments are not present, and the stone will retain its natural response to light, including the distinct lustre chrysoberyl is known for. For clients seeking a technical and visually engaging yellow chrysoberyl, this example from The Natural Gemstone Company offers a precise execution of the radiant concept, reliable physical durability for daily wear, and a gemological profile that will perform consistently in both jewelry and appraisal contexts.
