3.57 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 3.57 carat pear shape green chrysoberyl, measuring 12.37 x 8.73 x 4.53 mm, presents a refined mixed brilliant cut that balances light return with weight retention. The cutting style places a well proportioned brilliant facet arrangement on the crown, paired with a carefully calibrated pavilion geometry that emphasizes internal reflection and scintillation. The pear outline is symmetrical, the apex and rounded base well defined, and the table is centered to maintain consistent faceting angles across the gem. Color grade registers as medium intensity, an even, fresh green with slight yellow undertone typical of Ceylon chrysoberyl, and the gem displays a transparent body color that responds predictably to directional light. Clarity evaluates as eye clean at standard viewing distance, meaning no inclusions are observable to the unaided eye, and the surface finish shows excellent polish with crisp facet junctions that produce sharp light return. No enhancement has been applied, and origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, provenance that often correlates with a balance of clarity and lively medium green tones.

Under magnification this chrysoberyl reveals internal growth features and minute, characteristic inclusions that function as natural identifiers, they include subtle growth zoning and isolated micro needles typical of chrysoberyl formation, these features are confined to microscopic scale and they contribute to the natural fingerprint of the gem without compromising visual appeal. Such internal markers are valuable for collectors and for future identification, because they are unique to each stone and record the conditions of formation, they also interact with the mixed brilliant faceting to produce localized flashes and slight variation in tone that enliven the overall appearance. The combination of precise cutting, medium color intensity, eye clean clarity and excellent polish makes this pear shape ideal for high end pendant or ring settings, the dimensions and weight allow for secure bezel or custom prong work with attention to protecting the pointed tip. For clients seeking documented natural color and origin, The Natural Gemstone Company offers this specimen as an unenhanced, finely cut example of Ceylon chrysoberyl that will stand up to loupe examination and everyday display while retaining the microscopic inclusions that verify its natural history.
