2.80 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are stones that simply sit in the world and stones that seem to hold a small, private sun, and this cushion shaped chrysoberyl is of the latter sort. Imagine a quiet meadow at dawn, where the green of new leaves is laced with a warm golden light, and you will catch the tone of this gem. At 2.80 carat and with generous dimensions of 10.33 x 6.92 x 4.57 mm, this transparent yellowish green chrysoberyl commands presence without shouting, a rare scale and hue together that are seldom found in the same crystal. The mixed brilliant cut sets up a delicate dialogue between fire and depth, each facet tuned to catch and return light with a refined sparkle, and the excellent polish completes the performance with a satin glass sheen that invites a lover to lean in.

From a gemmological and sentimental point of view this piece is unusually fortunate. Its clarity is graded very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a clarity that reads as purity to the naked eye and allows the stone to glow from within. The color intensity sits at medium intense, which is where chrysoberyls become truly interesting, because most comparable stones appear flatter or tilt more to brown or to a simple chartreuse. This particular yellowish green is uncommon in both saturation and scale when compared to similar options, and the fact that it is entirely natural with no enhancement and sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka gives it a provenance and integrity that collectors and romantics alike prize. Few stones of this size and this particular tonal balance come from Sri Lankan finds, making this a gemstone that stands apart for rarity, story, and character.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we envision this chrysoberyl set as the heart of an engagement ring, or worn alone on a pendant where the light can play across its cushion facets, suggesting a quiet promise and a luminous future. It is a gem for someone who values singular moments over fleeting trends, for hands that love to tell a story through a single jewel. If you seek a piece that feels like a private inheritance, passed forward from a place where earth and sunlight conspired, this chrysoberyl embodies that rare and tender meeting, ready to be set and cherished.
