5.89 Ct. Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company presents an exquisite 5.89 carat oval chrysoberyl, a gem that commands attention and admiration with its distinctive allure and unparalleled craftsmanship. With dimensions of 12.10 x 8.57 x 6.92 mm, this chrysoberyl embodies a perfect balance between size and aesthetics. Its unique greenish-yellow hue is reminiscent of the famed chrysolites of ancient lore, adding a dimension of historical grandeur to its appeal. Mined in the illustrious gem-rich lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this stone holds a pedigree that dates back to periods when emperors sought gemstones to embellish their regal collections.

This remarkable chrysoberyl is shaped into an elegant oval through a mixed brilliant cut, a choice that maximizes brilliance while preserving the stone's color and overall integrity. This cutting method ensures a mesmerizing sparkle as it captures and refracts light, akin to the celebrated Hope Diamond's blue mystery or the dramatic allure of the Black Prince Ruby, both of which are valued for their unique ability to shimmer under varying lights. The excellent polish further enhances its luminosity, ensuring that the surface is flawlessly smooth, allowing reflections to remain pure and undistorted.

The clarity grade of very slightly included offers its own narrative of authenticity, akin perhaps, to the historic Star of India sapphire, which is renowned for its distinctive asterism rather than sheer clarity. This small degree of inclusion is only perceptible when viewed closely, lending the gem a natural character and individuality that synthetic or treated stones often lack. Its medium light color intensity is reminiscent of early spring mornings, which harnesses both a refreshing appeal and a subtle nod to extraordinary gems such as the Dresden Green Diamond, known for its unparalleled natural coloration.

Our chrysoberyl's origin in Sri Lanka is a testament to its esteemed legacy. This island has provided a backdrop for legendary gems throughout history, much like the famed Kashmir sapphires, prized for their velvety blue hues and extraordinary origins. In highlighting the source, The Natural Gemstone Company honors the Earth's contributions, ensuring that our gemstones retain a connection not just to the Earth but also to the people and traditions of where they originate. This blend of history, cultural significance, and exceptional material quality sets our chrysoberyl apart in a market that demands both beauty and provenance.
