3.73 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Tanzania

Born in the ancient soils of Tanzania, this yellowish green chrysoberyl began its long journey as mineral growth deep within metamorphic rock, taking shape over millennia under steady heat and pressure. Miners working with local knowledge and care freed the rough crystal from its host, revealing a rare translucence and a medium intense color that spoke of the stone's balanced chemical character and favorable formation conditions. In the hands of our cutters the gem’s natural beauty guided every decision, the oval cabochon shape chosen to celebrate the stone’s soft glow and internal life, its gently domed surface polished to an excellent finish that lets light travel through and kiss the stone, rather than obscure it. The result is a gemstone that carries the story of its origin, the patient craft of its makers, and the untouched purity of a stone with no enhancement, a genuine piece of Tanzania ready to become an heirloom.

Weighing 3.73 carat, this chrysoberyl occupies a sweet spot of both rarity and presence, a weight that materially increases its intrinsic value and visual impact. At 9.24 by 8.21 by 5.06 millimeters, the oval proportions create a substantial face up size for fine jewelry, while the cabochon cut and very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level ensure that the gem reads clean and luminous in wearable settings. Weight matters in gemstones because carat is a direct measure of rarity for a given material and color intensity, and a 3.73 carat chrysoberyl with medium intense color and no enhancements is uncommon in the market. The combination of weight and excellent polish amplifies the perceived depth of color, makes the stone command attention on a ring or pendant, and allows jewelers to design settings that balance security with visibility. At The Natural Gemstone Company we value stones that tell their provenance and respect natural formation, and this Tanzanian chrysoberyl is an embodiment of that philosophy, a story in color and weight that will anchor any bespoke creation, ready to be set into a design that honors both its geological beginnings and the hands that have refined it.
