21.45 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent Yellowish Green chrysoberyl, certified by C.Dunaigre, occupies a rare place in the market, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it as a superior choice for collectors and connoisseurs. At 21.45 carat and an oval shape measuring 15.73 by 14.56 by 9.32 millimeters, this gem offers presence and substance that most chrysoberyls on the market do not match. Many chrysoberyl cabochons available today are either smaller, treated, poorly polished, or lack the optical attributes that define a top tier stone. In contrast, this gem displays an intense color intensity within the Yellowish Green classification, a truly striking cat s eye band that remains sharp across viewing angles, and an excellent polish that gives the surface a mirror like finish. Where lower grade stones show uneven color zoning, surface pits, or diffuse chatoyancy, this example remains consistent and vibrant, making it an immediate visual standout in any setting.

Compared to other options such as heated or filled chrysoberyl, or mass market stones from ambiguous origin, this Ceylon origin piece brings verifiable pedigree and natural integrity. The origin of Ceylon Sri Lanka is known for producing chrysoberyl with a distinct clarity and silk that produces a clean and focused eye clean appearance when evaluated at normal viewing distance. This gem is listed as eye clean at eye level, and importantly it is natural with no enhancement, which significantly elevates its long term desirability and market value when compared to stones that have been subjected to heat, dyeing, or clarity treatments. The cabochon cut is particularly well executed, enhancing the cat s eye effect while preserving translucency, unlike poorly cut cabochons that reduce optical phenomenon or create windowing. For buyers who compare similar carat weights, many stones approaching this size sacrifice color intensity or polish, or come without reliable certification. The C.Dunaigre certificate included with this stone resolves doubts about origin and treatment, placing this gemstone in a higher trust tier than uncertified alternatives and delivering peace of mind that is increasingly rare in today s market.

From a practical and investment perspective this chrysoberyl represents both tangible value and unique character that differentiate it from many available alternatives. At over 21 carats this stone is a statement gem, ideal for a museum style ring, a bespoke pendant, or as a centerpiece in a collector s cabinet, and its combination of intense Yellowish Green color, translucent body, and a crisp cat s eye makes it versatile for classic and contemporary designs. Compared to sapphires and emeralds of similar eye appeal, this chrysoberyl often offers better stability and less demand for routine treatments, meaning long term maintenance and authenticity are easier to guarantee. For those seeking a rare natural piece, the lack of enhancement and the Ceylon origin are compelling, and the exceptional polish assures that the stone will deliver immediate visual impact under gallery and daylight conditions. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the gem with transparent information and certification, and we position this stone as a superior option for clients who will not accept compromise on clarity, optical effect, or origin.

In summary this Yellowish Green chrysoberyl is a top tier natural specimen that outperforms many market alternatives in quality, trust, and aesthetic presence. The combination of significant carat weight, eye clean clarity, excellent polish, intense color intensity, natural unenhanced state, and certified Ceylon origin by C.Dunaigre is rare and positions this gem as an investment quality choice and an exceptional creative material for fine jewelry.
