2.85 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

Introducing a standout treasure from The Natural Gemstone Company, a translucent yellowish green chrysoberyl weighing 2.85 carats, cut as an elegant oval cabochon with dimensions of 8.94 x 7.61 x 4.32 mm. This gem was sourced from Tanzania, and it arrives to you in its natural state, with no enhancements. At eye level it registers as very slightly included, a clarity grade that preserves the gem’s clean appearance while confirming its natural origin. The medium intense color intensity is rich without overpowering, and the excellent polish gives the surface a soft, glassy sheen that enhances translucence and depth. Compared to other green gemstones commonly seen on the market, this chrysoberyl offers a balance of rarity, durability, and visual refinement that sets it apart from peridot, green quartz, and many lower grade green sapphires, which may be more common or more heavily treated to achieve similar hues.

In terms of quality and value, this cabochon offers features that buyers and designers will immediately appreciate. Many alternatives that appear similar to the untrained eye are either synthetics, heavily heat treated, or filled to mask inclusions. This Tanzanian chrysoberyl is natural and untreated, which not only preserves its integrity, but also contributes to a stronger long term value proposition. The cabochon cut is particularly well suited to this stone, allowing light to play across the surface and emphasize the internal glow without demanding top facet brilliance, making it ideal for bespoke jewelry where a soft, luminous presence is desired. Its 2.85 carat weight and nearly 9 by 7.6 millimeter footprint make it substantial enough for a statement ring or pendant, while the very slight inclusions that appear only under careful observation confirm authenticity and natural formation, a feature prized by discerning collectors over the uniformity of mass produced alternatives.

Beyond physical beauty, chrysoberyl carries a long history of metaphysical associations that appeal to those who value gemstone energies as much as aesthetics. Traditionally, chrysoberyl is regarded as a stone of clarity, protection, and resilience. For the wearer, this translates into support for clear thinking and steady focus, qualities that are especially beneficial in times of decision making or personal transition. The yellowish green hue brings in additional resonances tied to both the heart and the solar plexus energy centers, blending emotional balance and compassionate connection with personal confidence and will. As a cabochon, its smooth, rounded form is thought to emit a gentle, consistent energy, useful for meditation, calming stress, and enhancing intuitive insight. Many people find chrysoberyl helpful for grounding scattered thoughts, for cultivating a calm but determined sense of purpose, and for creating a protective energetic field against negative influences.

Selecting this piece from The Natural Gemstone Company means choosing an untreated, well proportioned, and responsibly sourced chrysoberyl that offers both aesthetic satisfaction and meaningful metaphysical potential. Compared to other market options, it stands out for its combination of natural clarity, durable hardness of 8.5 on the Mohs scale, and the confidence that comes with a stone that has not been altered. Care is straightforward and aligns with fine jewelry maintenance, clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to extreme heat, and store separately to prevent abrasion. If you are considering this gem for a custom commission, a 2.85 carat oval cabochon such as this pairs beautifully with warm metals like yellow or rose gold to enhance its yellowish green glow, while a subtle platinum setting can provide a modern contrast.
