3.50 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the old alluvial terraces of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a story began centuries in the making, a story of soil and river, patience and skill. Miners who learned their craft from fathers and grandfathers allowed the land to reveal its treasures slowly, and from those careful hands came a translucent greenish yellow chrysoberyl that carries the quiet authority of age. This oval 3.50 carat gem measures 9.64 x 7.10 x 5.59 mm, and its cabochon cut sings of classical taste, a shape chosen to honor the stone rather than to impose modern trends. With medium intense color intensity and an excellent polish, this chrysoberyl bears no enhancement, a true testament to nature and to the traditional gemcraft of Ceylon Sri Lanka. Each facet of its rounded surface reflects generations of knowledge, while its soft glow invites contemplation rather than spectacle.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we guided this stone from the riverbeds to a refined presentation, selecting cutters who respect old world proportions and polish by hand until the light warmed without glare. The cabochon cut has been favored for centuries for stones like chrysoberyl, its gentle dome preserving the gemical depth and delivering a timeless silhouette that suits an heirloom ring, a classic pendant, or a collector cabinet. This piece will appeal to those who seek legacy over fashion, provenance over pretense, because its journey is visible in every curve and every internal whisper of color. Unenhanced and honest, it carries the provenance of Ceylon Sri Lanka and the assurance that it will age gracefully, a companion for generations. For connoisseurs who value history, and for craftsmen who create with reverence, this translucent 3.50 carat oval chrysoberyl stands as an emblem of continuity and refinement, offered with the care and expertise of The Natural Gemstone Company.
