3.38 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing describes a single, semi transparent brown chrysoberyl weighing 3.38 carats, round in outline with dimensions 8.89 x 8.82 x 5.23 mm, fashioned as a cabochon. The stone exhibits medium color intensity and an excellent polish, with a clarity grade assessed as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. These very slight inclusions are typical of natural chrysoberyl material, and because they do not interfere with the stone face up, they preserve the gem s overall visual appeal and structural integrity. The cabochon cut enhances surface luster and emphasizes the stone s even brown tone, while also presenting a discreet chatoyant band along the dome that is characteristic of well cut chrysoberyl cabochons. No enhancement has been applied, which is a positive attribute for collectors and connoisseurs who prefer untreated natural material. The documented origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a classic source known for producing chrysoberyl of consistent quality and stable color distribution.

For an educated buyer this specimen offers several clear points of value. The combination of a durable Mohs hardness near 8.5, very slight eye level inclusions, and excellent polish means the gem is suitable for wearable jewelry, particularly for bezel or cabochon friendly settings that protect the dome while showing its smooth luster. Origin from Ceylon adds provenance that often commands a premium among collectors, because Sri Lankan chrysoberyl has a long established reputation for clean material and pleasing tones. The absence of enhancement increases market desirability, as does the medium color intensity which balances presence with versatility in design. When assessing price and potential appreciation, consider clarity as seen at eye level, the symmetry and finish of the cabochon, and the confirmed no enhancement status, all of which favor stable resale value. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this chrysoberyl with full disclosure of grading observations and measurements, and we recommend an appraisal and secure setting to maximize both beauty and longevity.
