5.07 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful translucent 5.07 carat oval shape green chrysoberyl is presented with dimensions of 8.20 x 8.85 x 7.20 mm, cabochon cut, medium color intensity, and an excellent polish. This gem displays a striking chatoyant band that crosses the dome with a bright, silky sheen, a hallmark of fine chrysoberyl varieties from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The body color is a fresh, leafy green with even tone, allowing the cat eye to read clearly even under modest lighting. No enhancement has been applied, which preserves the natural character and stability of the stone, and the cabochon profile has been shaped to center and emphasize the eye, providing a crisp, attractive line that moves smoothly as the piece is rotated. The smooth polish and careful shaping reveal a well proportioned dome that balances brilliance and depth, making this piece ideal for focal jewelry designs.

As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company I can tell you how versatile and rare a translucent green chrysoberyl of this weight and quality is, particularly when it is untreated and comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka. It will sit beautifully as the centerpiece in a ring, pendant, or bespoke cuff, and its durable chrysoberyl hardness offers reliable wear for everyday pieces. For settings I recommend a bezel or halo that protects the cabochon edge while allowing the chatoyancy to remain unobstructed, and warm metal tones such as yellow gold will complement the green without overpowering the subtle hue. To care for the gem gently clean it with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and store it separately to prevent accidental abrasion. If you would like detailed photographs, a custom mounting sketch, or assistance with selection and appraisal, The Natural Gemstone Company is happy to assist, and we can provide additional information about provenance and handling. This 5.07 carat Ceylon chrysoberyl is an elegant, responsible choice for collectors and designers who appreciate natural beauty, distinct chatoyancy, and expert finishing.
