3.36 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the mines of Ceylon comes a gemstone that speaks in soft, ancient tones, a greenish yellow chrysoberyl that belongs in any collection that values history and enduring beauty. This transparent 3.36 carat oval gem is a study in classical elegance and geological story telling, a piece that invites the collector to consider not only its visual charm, but its place in a lineage of gemstones prized across empires and ages. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this chrysoberyl as an example of nature refined by expert cutting and careful evaluation, a stone that carries with it the quiet dignity of Ceylon provenance, and the kind of timeless appeal that transcends fleeting trends. For those who cherish legacy and provenance, this chrysoberyl offers the rare combination of a recognizably historic origin, a hue that recalls tropical light filtered through old growth foliage, and a presence that will sit comfortably alongside the finest gems in a discerning cabinet.

Examined closely, the gem reveals dimensions of nine point nine six by six point nine six by six point two one millimeters, a balanced oval that has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to maximize life and sparkle. The medium intense color intensity reads as a harmonious greenish yellow, an attractive tone that allows the stone to assert itself while remaining versatile for a range of settings. Clarity has been graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a condition that many seasoned connoisseurs accept as a hallmark of natural origin and character. These small inclusions do not interrupt the gem s clarity at a glance, they rather provide a fingerprint of geological history that collectors often prize. The polish is excellent, creating crisp facet junctions and lively light return, and importantly, the stone has undergone no enhancement, preserving its natural state as it emerged from Sri Lankan geology. Such an unenhanced chrysoberyl, cut to these proportions and weight, presents an authentic and compelling example for a high end collection.

Beyond its aesthetic virtues, this chrysoberyl is built to last, and it is a gemstone that can be enjoyed as a wearable heirloom as readily as it occupies a secure place in a collector s tray. Chrysoberyl is renowned for its robustness and resistance to wear, characteristics that made it a favorite in classical jewelry and in pieces meant to be treasured across generations. This particular oval, with its three point three six carat weight and finely executed faceting, lends itself beautifully to a variety of design directions. For a piece that emphasizes tradition, a solitaire or a vintage inspired mount in warm yellow gold will echo the gem s natural warmth and historical ties to Ceylon. For collectors who prefer a contemporary statement, a milgrain bezel or a minimalist platinum setting will create striking contrast and draw attention to the stone s luminous interior. Pairing the chrysoberyl with small round diamonds can enhance brilliance without competing with the gem s singular color, while a companion of complementary colored stones can create a palette that feels curated and timeless.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that a collector seeks more than a pretty stone, they seek provenance, craftsmanship, and a narrative that will endure. This greenish yellow chrysoberyl from Ceylon arrives as a complete offering in that regard, carrying a documented origin and a natural state that requires no enhancement. Its medium intense color, excellent polish, mixed brilliant cut, and slightly included clarity at eye level all contribute to a gemstone that is both authentic and sophisticated. Whether you envision this oval set into a ring destined to be worn and admired, or preserved as part of a carefully assembled high end collection, this chrysoberyl promises to reward its owner with visual charm and lasting value. We welcome inquiries about bespoke mounting options, detailed viewing under controlled light, and consultation on how this gem can complement or elevate an existing assembly of treasures. Consider this chrysoberyl as more than a purchase, consider it as an acquisition of heritage, a luminous addition that will carry forward a story for generations to come.
