3.00 Ct. Yellowish Green Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present an extraordinarily rare cushion shape yellowish green chrysoberyl, a gemstone that will instantly distinguish any private collection. This 3.00 carat gem originates from the storied alluvial parcels of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance celebrated by connoisseurs for producing gems of exceptional character. Its intense color intensity is both vivid and complex, a yellowish green that shifts with the light from fresh chartreuse highlights to deeper olive heart notes, creating a living color that draws the eye. Transparency and a finely controlled light return give this stone a presence that reads as refined and exclusive, a gem not mass produced, but chosen and polished to accentuate its natural beauty.

Measured at 9.13 x 7.18 x 5.45 mm, the cushion shape has been executed with a mixed brilliant cut to maximize scintillation while preserving the rich tone of the rough. The mixed brilliant facets create a dynamic interplay of larger pavilion facets and a sparkling crown, yielding flashes that are at once bold and nuanced. Clarity has been evaluated as very slightly included evaluated at eye level which in practical terms means the stone is beautifully clean to the unaided eye, with only minor inclusions that serve as proof of natural origin and do not interrupt the gem s brilliance. The polish has been graded excellent ensuring every facet edge is crisp and reflective, and the gem is free from enhancement no enhancement, an increasingly rare attribute that guarantees you are acquiring an untouched example of nature s art.

When we compare this Ceylon chrysoberyl to more familiar gemstones the contrast is revealing, and it is here that its true brilliance becomes apparent. Unlike diamonds which owe their dramatic fire to very high dispersion, chrysoberyl relies on a high refractive index and an adamantine luster to produce a brilliant, mirror like light return that reads as lively and immediate on the hand. Against sapphires and emeralds which display strong color but can appear deep and more velvety in tone, this chrysoberyl offers a brightness and satiny sheen that keeps the gem visually active from every angle. Compared with peridot or citrine the color saturation and clarity of this stone are markedly superior, with a depth of tone that avoids the washed or overly brownish appearance that can plague less distinguished greenish yellows. With a Mohs hardness of approximately 8.5 chrysoberyl is also admirably durable, far more suitable for everyday wear than many softer gems while still offering a uniquely lively optical performance that sets it apart from both common and rare alternatives.

Ownership of a gem like this is an invitation to join a very small circle of collectors who appreciate provenance and authenticity, a promise we stand behind at The Natural Gemstone Company.
