3.18 Ct. Greenish Yellow Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

This 3.18 carat cushion shape greenish yellow chrysoberyl from Tanzania, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, is a rare combination of precision cutting, intense natural color, and top tier polish. Measuring 8.54 x 6.44 x 6.68 mm, the stone has a mixed brilliant cut that marries the depth and fire of a brilliant with the elegant silhouette of a cushion, creating a geometric faceting pattern that channels and multiplies light with exceptional efficiency. Each pavilion and crown facet is proportioned to maximize internal reflection, producing lively scintillation and a consistently bright face up appearance, even when worn or viewed at angle. The clarity is slightly included at eye level, which in this size and cut translates to characterful individuality rather than distraction, and the excellent polish ensures each facet edge remains sharp and reflective, amplifying the gem s natural brilliance. Importantly, this chrysoberyl is untreated, no enhancement, letting the intense color intensity speak for itself while preserving long term value and rarity.

Compared to common alternatives on the market, this chrysoberyl outperforms in several meaningful ways. Unlike lower grade citrine or heated quartz, its color is naturally intense and stable, with a depth that remains vivid under varied lighting. Against many tourmalines and lesser sapphires, this stone offers superior toughness and wearability, with chrysoberyl s natural hardness providing daily durability for rings and frequently worn pieces. The mixed brilliant faceting gives it a visual advantage over simple step cuts, because the geometric arrangement of facets creates more dynamic light return and a fire that catches the eye across movement. For buyers seeking investment quality and jewellers seeking a showpiece center stone, the lack of enhancement and the Tanzanian origin add provenance and collector appeal. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select and cut stones to emphasize natural strengths, and this piece is a clear example of that philosophy. Whether set in a classic solitaire, a modern halo, or a bespoke design, this cushion chrysoberyl delivers superior sparkle, enduring color, and confident presence that outshines many contemporaries in its class.
