2.76 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This extraordinary green chrysoberyl is an invitation to join a very small circle of collectors who value rarity and authenticity, a singular treasure offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. This piece is certified green, weighing 2.76 carats, and sourced from the famed gem gravels of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The combination of provenance and certification guarantees that you are acquiring a natural, untreated gem, as this stone has no enhancement. Its origin in Ceylon speaks to a lineage of gemstones prized for their clarity and color, and this cabochon embodies that heritage with an elegance that is immediately recognisable. Because we curate only the finest and most distinctive stones, this chrysoberyl is not a commodity, it is a limited opportunity to own a gemstone with a story, a history, and the unmistakable signature of true rarity.

Visually this oval cabochon measures 8.61 by 8.44 by 3.64 millimetres, a perfectly proportioned silhouette that balances presence with wearability. The cabochon cut amplifies the gem's translucent quality, allowing light to play softly across its surface while preserving the depth and intensity of its green hue. Color intensity has been assessed as intense, a rich green that is both vibrant and refined, offering a look that remains versatile for elegant daywear and striking enough for evening pieces. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, which in practical terms means the stone appears clean to the naked eye, while internal characteristics contribute to its natural charm and individuality. The polish is excellent, producing a surface sheen that enhances the cabochon form and showcases the gem in its best light. Taken together, the weight, dimensions, cut, color, clarity, and finish make this chrysoberyl a genuinely exceptional specimen, one that will stand apart in any collection or bespoke commission.

Beyond its beauty, this chrysoberyl is supremely suited to daily wear, which is a key distinction for those seeking a gemstone that combines luxury with longevity. Chrysoberyl ranks high on the hardness scale, making it resistant to scratches from routine contact and ideal for rings, bracelets, and pieces that experience frequent handling. The cabochon profile further increases durability, reducing the risk of chipping that can affect faceted edges, and the excellent polish provides a smooth surface that resists abrasion. In addition to hardness and toughness, this gem is stable against fading from ordinary light exposure and is not susceptible to common household chemicals when set responsibly. For secure, long lasting daily wear we recommend classic settings that protect the girdle and crown, such as bezel or well designed prong mountings, which both enhance the stone's safety and complement its refined silhouette. When set with care by a skilled jeweller, this chrysoberyl will reward its owner with years of effortless beauty.

Owning this chrysoberyl from The Natural Gemstone Company means more than acquiring a jewel, it means joining an elite group of connoisseurs who seek pieces of unquestionable authenticity and lasting value. Each stone we present is chosen for its exceptional character and limited availability, and this 2.76 carat Ceylon cabochon is a prime example of that commitment. Whether you envision it at the heart of a bespoke ring, a refined pendant, or a statement cuff, this gem lends itself to commissions that celebrate individuality and craftsmanship. Because stones of this quality are rare and seldom pass through the market, we encourage discerning buyers to consider this opportunity while it remains available. Our team is ready to assist with bespoke design recommendations, secure provenance documentation, and guidance on settings that will best preserve and display this remarkable chrysoberyl for a lifetime of daily enjoyment.
