4.40 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent yellowish green chrysoberyl, weighing 4.40 carat, is presented in an elegant oval shape and finished as a cabochon, with precise dimensions of 9.17 by 7.69 by 6.26 mm. The cabochon cut is an intentional choice for a stone with this particular translucency and color. Instead of faceting, the smooth domed surface allows the internal glow and soft depth of the material to become the visual focus. The color is best described as yellowish green with a medium light intensity, a tone that is neither too pale nor overpowering, and that reads differently depending on lighting conditions. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region with a long established reputation for producing chrysoberyl of fine character, and no enhancement has been applied, so what you see is the natural material, in its original state.

From a gemological perspective this example is very well presented. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level and graded as eye clean, which means that no inclusions are noticeable to the unaided eye under normal viewing. For an educated buyer that clarity grade confirms visual purity and contributes to both aesthetic appeal and market value. The stone has an excellent polish that enhances surface luster and allows light to flow smoothly across the dome, producing a soft, satiny sheen. Chrysoberyl is a durable species, ranking nine on the Mohs hardness scale, and that intrinsic physical strength is part of its appeal for everyday wear. The combination of natural, untreated origin, eye clean clarity, and excellent polish places this gem in a category attractive to collectors and connoisseurs who value both natural character and practical durability.

The cabochon presentation and the yellowish green hue make this chrysoberyl exceptionally versatile in jewelry design. In casual settings the soft domed surface creates a warm and approachable appearance, pairing naturally with leather, linen, and everyday metals. In formal situations the same qualities translate into an understated elegance, where the stone contributes a refined and sophisticated color note without competing with other elements of an ensemble. The dimensions, 9.17 by 7.69 by 6.26 mm, are well suited to a variety of mounting styles. For those who prefer classic looks, a simple bezel in yellow gold will warm the yellowish green and emphasize the stone as a centerpiece. For a more contemporary aesthetic, a white metal setting such as white gold or platinum provides a crisp contrast that lets the color read as a cooler green.

As representatives of The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize provenance, transparency, and responsible sourcing. This chrysoberyl being from Ceylon Sri Lanka adds a layer of documented origin that educated buyers often prefer when assessing authenticity and comparative value. The fact that the stone is untreated is an important factor in long term value, because natural material without enhancements typically maintains stable market perception and collector interest. For practical care we recommend routine cleaning with warm water, a mild non abrasive soap, and a soft brush, taking the usual precautions with any fine jewelry to avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme thermal shock, even though chrysoberyl is highly durable. If you are considering this gem for an engagement ring, a daily wear piece, or as a special addition to a collection, its combination of eye clean clarity, pleasing color intensity, original Ceylon origin, and excellent polish offers a balanced and compelling option.
