Imagine holding a piece of sunlight in your palm, a jewel that seems to breathe with life and possibility. This beautiful transparent yellowish green chrysoberyl, weighing 4.29 carat, is more than a gemstone, it is a story waiting to be told. Its cushion shape and refined mixed brilliant cut create a ballet of light and color, each facet catching the eye and holding it in a warm embrace. When you look closely you will notice the excellent polish that gives every plane a mirror like clarity, allowing that medium intense color to glow from within. The gem comes to you unenhanced, a pure gift from nature, originating from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a place known for producing treasures that have captivated collectors and artisans for generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish that natural origin, and we invite you to imagine this piece as the centerpiece of a new tradition in your life, a constant companion that will inspire joy whenever it catches the light.

The proportions of this stone are generous, with dimensions of 10.96 by 8.37 by 5.65 mm, a size that feels substantial on the finger yet elegant and wearable. Its clarity is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, which means the stone presents a clean, luminous face to the world, with only the most discreet internal features visible under close inspection. Those tiny natural marks are not flaws, they are a reminder of the gem’s journey through the earth, each inclusion a tiny signature of the environment and time that formed it. The mixed brilliant cut harmonizes round and step cutting principles to deliver both scintillation and depth, a combination that ensures this chrysoberyl will sparkle in motion and glow with inner depth when it rests in sunlight or lamplight. Whether set alone in a bold ring or cradled by a halo of diamonds, this gemstone will feel alive, responding to every movement with flashes of yellowish green fire that make ordinary moments feel extraordinary.

Chrysoberyl is prized not only for its color and brilliance, but for its strength and longevity, and this Ceylon piece promises to remain a beloved heirloom for decades and generations to come. With a hardness of 8.5 on the Mohs scale, chrysoberyl resists scratches and daily wear far better than many other gems, which means its surface polish and lively sparkle will stand the test of time. The stone’s natural color is stable and unchanged, and because it has undergone no enhancements, its beauty is wholly authentic, a pure expression of nature preserved by skilled cutting and careful handling. Over the years it will acquire the gentle history of being worn and loved, its facets reflecting sunsets and small celebrations, birthdays and quiet triumphs, a visual diary of moments that matter. Imagine the way its warm yellowish green will soften with candlelight, how it will pick up garden greens and turquoise skies, how it will seem to echo laughter, turning everyday gestures into memories that sparkle.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that a gemstone is a promise more than a purchase, and we present this chrysoberyl with confidence and affection, ready to be set into a piece that will tell your story. Picture it in a timeless solitaire ring, held by custom prongs that frame the cushion shape and allow light to enter from every angle, or imagine it as the heart of a pendant that rests over the pulse, bright and intimate. We recommend routine gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush to keep its polish pristine, and simple care to protect it from hard knocks, so it may shine for a lifetime. When you choose this gem you are choosing provenance, unenhanced natural beauty, and the promise that each glance will kindle a fresh sense of wonder.
