3.05 Ct. Greenish Yellow Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful translucent 3.05 carat round shape greenish yellow chrysoberyl is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, dimensions 7.66 x 7.74 x 5.34 mm, cabochon cut, intense color intensity, excellent polish, no enhancement, origin Ceylon. The piece is calibrated in weight and dimension to meet collector and designer expectations, the near perfect round outline paired with a 5.34 mm dome height providing an optimal balance between face up color saturation and wearability. The translucent body allows controlled internal scattering of light, while the intense greenish yellow hue exhibits even distribution across the table, reflecting the typical saturation associated with high quality Sri Lankan chrysoberyl.

Technically, the cutter employed a geometric faceting approach to the cabochon profile, using precise radii and micro bevels to create a faceted geometry within a domed silhouette, this hybrid methodology yields maximum light play without creating traditional facets that would alter the cabochon character. The dome profile was calculated to specific optical radii to favor internal reflection angles that enhance perceived brightness, taking into account chrysoberyl refractive properties and pleochroic tendencies. The result is a surface geometry that channels incident light into a controlled series of sub surface reflections, producing dynamism across viewing angles, a controlled shimmer that complements the intense color. The excellent polish on the dome and girdle minimizes surface scattering, preserving transmitted color and allowing true face up assessment of tone and saturation.

Craftsmanship details matter for practical use, the symmetry in outline and centered dome indicate careful preform orientation relative to the crystal axis, this orientation maximizes preferred color and minimizes undesirable color zoning, and the attention to girdle finish supports secure bezel settings. At 3.05 carat and with a substantial pavilion thickness, the stone offers durability for rings, while remaining elegant in pendants and collectors mounts. The natural, untreated status confirms stability of color and clarity, and provenance from Ceylon provides expected geological character in terms of hue and crystal habit. For connoisseurs seeking a technically refined cabochon that combines geometric faceting principles with the classic smoothness of a dome, The Natural Gemstone Company recommends this chrysoberyl for settings where controlled light play and intense, even color are primary design objectives.
