This exquisite green chrysoberyl from Tanzania embodies a lineage of beauty that reaches back through centuries, a gem whose quiet brilliance carries the authority of time. At 3.22 carats and fashioned into a classic round shape, this stone measures 8.78 x 8.75 x 5.41 mm, a size that balances presence with wearability. The cutter has chosen a mixed brilliant cut to harmonize scintillation with depth, and the result is a lively play of light across the table and crown that retains a graceful, old world poise. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, a reassuring grade that confirms the gem is essentially clean to the unaided eye while retaining natural character, and the medium color intensity presents a serene green that reads as both sophisticated and approachable. The polish is excellent, a testament to the skill of the lapidary, and there has been no enhancement, a pure expression of the stone as it emerged from the earth.
