3.62 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful translucent 3.62 carat oval green chrysoberyl, measuring 9.41 x 7.64 x 5.13 mm, arrives from the storied gem fields of Ceylon, a land whose mines have supplied monarchs and temples for centuries. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, this gem displays an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, and it is graded as very, very slightly included when viewed at eye level, with a heat treatment applied to enhance and stabilize its gentle hue. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this stone as a piece that bridges classical heritage and wearable elegance, its soft yet vivid green speaking to traditions of fine jewels passed down through generations, while its clarity and cut allow light to travel through the gem with a luminous, almost inner radiance that is timeless.

When compared to chrysoberyl and related greens from other famous locations, this Ceylon example reveals a distinct personality, its fresh apple to lime green hue being lighter and more luminous than the warmer, more yellowish greens often found in Brazilian material, and cleaner and more ethereal than the deeper, olive tones characteristic of some Madagascar finds. Russian chrysoberyl and classic Ural alexandrite material tend to carry a cooler, bluish green in daylight and dramatic color change, whereas this Sri Lankan stone maintains a consistent, intensely colored green that reads brighter under most lighting, without the brown overtones that can appear in lesser material. Compared to other green gems, this chrysoberyl offers a clarity and brilliance unlike peridot, which can lean toward a more olive or mossy tone, and it is softer in saturation than the deep, garden green of tsavorite garnet or the bluish hints that mark Colombian emeralds, making it an excellent choice for those who favor a refined, gentle green that speaks of serenity and legacy. For collectors and designers seeking a piece that evokes antiquity and endurance, this Ceylon chrysoberyl will sit beautifully in heirloom settings, carrying both the history of its origin and the assured quality standards of The Natural Gemstone Company.
