2.93 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This Green Yellow chrysoberyl, GIA certified, is a standout offering from The Natural Gemstone Company, presented as a transparent, round shape cabochon weighing 2.93 carat, and measuring 7.20 x 6.93 x 6.10 mm. The gem displays an intense greenish yellow hue, classified on the lab report as Green Yellow, with an eye clean clarity grade as evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that enhances its natural luster. Notably, this stone has no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing chrysoberyl of fine color and clarity. The combination of GIA certification, transparency in a cabochon form, and the absence of treatment puts this specimen in a different category than many common chrysoberyl pieces on the market, and makes it a rare find for both collectors and designers seeking a pure, natural gemstone with verifiable pedigree.

Compared to the majority of chrysoberyl offerings that are either faceted or opaque cabochons with surface or clarity tradeoffs, this gem benefits from a transparent cabochon presentation that preserves the gem's color depth while delivering a smooth, luminous dome that flatters many settings. On the market today, many greenish yellow stones are subjected to heat or irradiation to enhance or stabilize their color. This chrysoberyl arrives untouched, so what you see is natural color and character, verified by GIA documentation. When buyers compare stones by weight and eye appeal, a 2.93 carat, eye clean, intensely colored chrysoberyl with excellent polish will outperform similar sized pieces that show visible inclusions, uneven color distribution, or that require disclosure of treatment to reach acceptable tone and saturation.

In terms of value and rarity, Sri Lankan chrysoberyl carries a reputation for producing gems with a pleasing balance of hue and clarity, and this piece exemplifies that heritage. The lab color classification Green Yellow is uncommon enough to be considered distinctive, yet versatile enough to pair well with warm or cool metal choices in finished jewelry. Because it is certified by GIA, the stone comes with independent verification of its natural origin and absence of enhancement, which is a critical differentiator when compared to uncertified stones or pieces with ambiguous treatment histories. Collectors and investors often prefer stones that combine certified authenticity, natural color, and a reputable origin, and this gem checks all those boxes, offering both aesthetic pleasure and a provenance that supports long term value.

In practical terms for jewelers and designers, the round cabochon shape and the gem dimensions make it straightforward to set into a variety of styles, from classic solitaire pendants to contemporary bezel set rings that protect the domed surface. Chrysoberyl ranks high on the Mohs hardness scale at about 8.5, which means it wears well in everyday jewelry and resists scratches far better than many colored gemstones. The excellent polish on this stone ensures a bright surface reflection and strong internal glow, which will show beautifully under both natural and artificial light. Care is simple, use warm soapy water and a soft brush for regular cleaning, avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to extreme heat, and occasional professional checkups for the setting will keep the gem secure and looking its best.
