6.04 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a singular gemstone that answers both an emotional need and a technical standard, this translucent greenish brown chrysoberyl from Ceylon offers a compelling solution, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this one of a kind specimen. We understand that you may be looking for a piece to anchor a bespoke engagement ring, a distinctive pendant that draws conversation, or an addition to a curator level collection that values natural origin and untouched character. This gem weighs 6.04 carat, and presents in a round form with precise dimensions of 10.70 x 10.51 x 5.57 mm, finished as a smooth cabochon to highlight depth and inner glow. The color intensity registers as medium, providing a versatile palette that reads as earthy green tones at some angles and warm brown at others, and the clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean and lively in everyday viewing. The polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement, offering you a natural Sri Lankan chrysoberyl that is ready to be set and worn with confidence.

As you imagine this gem in a design, consider what the cabochon cut does for its personality, and why it solves the common need for a wearable center stone that remains elegant without demanding constant reorientation. The rounded dome concentrates light into the heart of the stone, producing a soft internal glow that flat facets simply cannot replicate, and the very slightly included clarity provides gentle textural interest that makes the stone feel alive under inspection without distracting from its overall purity. The medium color intensity is an advantage for practical jewelry, because it is saturated enough to project presence on the hand, yet restrained enough to pair with both yellow and rosy metals, and even a muted white metal like platinum. With excellent polish the surface becomes a mirror for surrounding light, creating bright highlights that accentuate the domed profile, and because there is no enhancement you are receiving an honest natural gem from the storied deposits of Ceylon, a provenance that collectors and romantics both appreciate.

This chrysoberyl will reveal different personalities as it meets different lighting conditions, which answers the common desire for a gem that performs both day and night. In bright natural daylight, especially under northern light or soft outdoor shade, the greenish aspect becomes more pronounced, and the stone exhibits a cool, verdant clarity with a luminous center. In warm incandescent or candlelight the brown and golden undertones assert themselves, giving the gem a rich, honeyed warmth that flatters skin tones and conveys a classic, old world charm. Under modern LED lighting the stone can take on a slightly more neutral presentation, with crisp surface reflections and a clear band of light across the dome where the excellent polish interacts with directional illumination, and in low ambient light the cabochon will glow from within as its translucent body diffuses light, producing a soft halo effect around the central axis. When viewed with backlighting or held against a brighter background the translucency becomes a feature, revealing layered depth and subtle color zoning, and the domed cabochon may present a linear highlight or luminous band when struck by a single strong beam, which adds motion to the gem as you move. These variations mean that the stone answers the need for jewelry that is never visually static, and that rewards the wearer with new details each time it is seen.

For practical ownership and final reassurance from The Natural Gemstone Company, this chrysoberyl is an excellent match for a variety of settings and for buyers who seek authenticity and longevity. Its size and round cabochon profile make it ideal for a bezel set ring that protects the edges while showcasing the dome, or for a simple prong or cup style when you want more light to penetrate the stone, and it is equally suited to a pendant where backlighting can be enjoyed. Because it is untreated and of Sri Lankan origin, it holds collector value and is a tasteful statement for an engagement piece for someone who values natural beauty over conventional sparkle. Care is straightforward, you should avoid strong chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning if inclusions or internal structure cause concern, and routine cleaning with mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush will preserve the polish and natural glow.
