3.86 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet poem held within this grey chrysoberyl, a soft and silken hush that seems to fold light into itself, and offer it back as something intimate and mysterious. Semi transparent, with an oval silhouette that measures 10.81 x 8.94 x 4.77 mm, and a comfortable weight of 3.86 carat, this gem wears its cabochon cut like a small, polished moon. The surface is given to an excellent polish, so that each curve catches a slow, graceful reflection, and the medium color intensity gives the stone a smoky, liquid grey that moves from pewter to dove as you shift it in the light. At eye level the clarity is graded very slightly included, and those gentle internal whispers become part of the stone story, like fine brushstrokes on a misted window, lending character rather than distraction. No enhancement has been applied, the gem is as nature offered it, a truth from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and its naturalness is felt in the way it breathes with light.

Imagine this oval cabochon nested in a setting that honors its hush, a band of warm gold that cradles rather than commands, or a bezel of palladium that speaks in soft contrast. For an engagement expression, the gem is a quiet promise rather than a proclamation, it is the kind of center that invites a life of shared glances, private smiles, and long conversations under late lamps. The stone suggests designs that are both modern and timeless, a simple halo that lets the grey sing, or a pair of companion stones in soft pastels that tilt the palette toward romance. Worn as a pendant it will hover close to the heart, turning with breath and memory, and worn in a ring it will become a daily talisman, gathering stories in its subtle inclusions and returning them as a warm, steady glow. The cabochon shape softens every interaction with skin and light, it is forgiving and intimate, a gentle focal point that makes ordinary gestures feel ceremonious.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this chrysoberyl with both reverence and clarity, every detail given to you so the purchase can be as considered as the gem itself. Its origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka is noted, its honesty affirmed by the absence of enhancement, and its technical virtues are shared plainly so that the romance of the piece is never at the expense of truth. We invite you to imagine the story you would write with this grey oval, to picture the first time a light finds the cabochon and causes the soft interior to answer.
