5.28 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Madagascar

This exceptional yellowish green chrysoberyl offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare combination of size, color, and clarity that stands out in today s market. We present one transparent, cushion shape gem weighing 5.28 carats, measuring 10.83 by 8.92 by 5.84 millimeters, with a refined mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish. Evaluated at eye level, the stone is eye clean, showing no visible inclusions to the unaided eye, while exhibiting a pleasing medium color intensity that balances liveliness with sophistication. Importantly, this gem is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, and originates from the respected deposits of Madagascar, a locality noted for producing fine chrysoberyl specimens. In direct comparison to the many stones you will encounter on the market, this chrysoberyl combines a substantial physical presence with a purity and polish that is often found only in much smaller gems, or in stones that have undergone enhancement.

When you compare this Chrysoberyl to other green and yellow green gemstones available to buyers, its advantages become clear, both technically and aesthetically. Against peridot, which may show similar tones but is softer and commonly carries more visible inclusions, this chrysoberyl offers greater durability, with superior hardness that resists surface wear and maintains faceted crispness over time. Versus yellow sapphire, chrysoberyl delivers a unique green leaning tone that reads as fresh and lively on the finger, while remaining remarkably durable and often better value per carat when you consider untreated clarity and color. Unlike many commercial gems that are heat treated, diffused, or otherwise enhanced to achieve appearance, this Madagascar chrysoberyl is offered without enhancement, preserving natural color stability and collector appeal. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish maximize light return and scintillation, so when compared to standard step cuts or poorly executed brilliants, this stone displays a liveliness and depth of sparkle that elevates any setting. The cushion shape is a timeless choice that amplifies the gem s face up presence, and at over five carats this example will command attention while remaining elegant and wearable.

Over the years the natural beauty of this chrysoberyl will continue to captivate, for reasons that go beyond immediate visual impact. Its fine polish and precise mixed brilliant faceting ensure that light performance is optimized now, and because the stone is hard and resistant to abrasion, those bright facets will endure with normal wear, preserving the initial brilliance. The absence of chemical enhancements means the hue you see is the true color, not a surface treatment or lab altered tone that could fade or react over time, so the gem s yellowish green charm is inherently stable. The stone s eye clean clarity will maintain its clear, vivid appearance against the skin, and the substantial dimensions allow it to display color and fire even when set in a protective bezel or a classic prong mounting. As fashions shift, the cushion silhouette remains a beloved classic, offering versatility to be reinterpreted in contemporary or vintage inspired settings, and as a natural, untreated Madagascar chrysoberyl this gem becomes a meaningful heirloom choice that can be passed down without concern that its beauty was manufactured or compromised.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in sourcing and presenting gemstones that offer real advantages when compared to the mainstream options that many buyers encounter. This 5.28 carat cushion chrysoberyl represents superior value because it combines rarity of size, eye clean clarity, natural untreated origin, and an outstanding cut and polish, in a color that is both distinctive and wearable. If you are seeking a gemstone that outperforms peridot and other yellow green alternatives in durability and long term presence, while offering a unique character that will continue to delight year after year, this Madagascar chrysoberyl is an exceptional choice. We welcome inquiries about mounting suggestions and styling, and we are happy to provide additional photos or measurements to help you visualize how this gem will enhance a ring, pendant, or bespoke piece that will be treasured for generations.
