6.13 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present with pride a singular gem that exemplifies refined taste and enduring elegance, one beautiful opaque 6.13 carat oval shape greenish yellow chrysoberyl, measuring 12.36 x 8.87 x 6.82 mm, masterfully fashioned as a cabochon to celebrate its unique optical character. This stone commands attention with an intense color intensity that flows from olive to warm chartreuse, a spectrum that reads as both sophisticated and quietly bold. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is graded very slightly included, a distinction that speaks to its natural origin while preserving a clean visual field that allows the cat eye band to glide unbroken across the dome. The polish is excellent, a mirror like finish that enhances the silky chatoyancy and makes the narrow, luminous line appear almost alive as it travels with movement and light, a phenomenon that collectors and connoisseurs revere. There has been no enhancement, the gem is entirely natural, and its provenance is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a storied source whose name is synonymous with gemstones of exceptional character and historical cachet.

In hand the gem reveals layers of nuance that transform it from an object into an experience, the cabochon cut serving as a stage for a striking cat eye effect that is sharp and centered, a hallmark of fine chrysoberyl. The greenish yellow hue is vivid without being garish, a color that reads differently according to lighting, cool and contemplative in soft daylight, warm and luminous under incandescent glow. The band itself is a testament to skilled lapidary work, running straight and bright across the surface, an optical arrow that draws the eye and anchors any design with purposeful drama. The very slightly included clarity is in fact an ally to the chatoyancy, the fine fibrous or needle like inclusions that create the line are precisely the features that give the stone its voice, a voice that speaks of authenticity, rarity, and a graceful restraint that only the most discerning collector will truly appreciate.

Owning such a chrysoberyl is an assertion of cultivated taste and an embrace of heritage, a private trophy that belongs in the collections of those who value provenance and natural beauty. Ceylon chrysoberyls are prized for their unique interplay of color and light, and an unenhanced example of this caliber is a rare find. The dimensions 12.36 x 8.87 x 6.82 mm paired with a weight of 6.13 carats offer a commanding presence without overwhelming, a scale that suits ring, pendant, or bespoke brooch with equal sophistication. Whether set in a minimalist gold bezel to celebrate its form, or mounted within a more elaborate setting that frames the eye like a piece of wearable art, this gem becomes a signature piece that reflects an owner who seeks individuality rather than fashion alone. The excellent polish ensures that every facet of design will catch and return light, highlighting the cat eye and the rich field of greenish yellow that surrounds it.

For those who are ready to acquire a piece that combines natural integrity, exceptional lapidary skill, and the quiet power of a true collector gem, The Natural Gemstone Company offers tailored guidance and concierge level service. We can advise on mounting options that preserve and enhance the cat eye effect, recommend settings that protect the dome and showcase the best face up area, and provide detailed provenance documentation upon request. Care is straightforward, it is best to avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning, a gentle warm soap bath and soft cloth will maintain its polish and luster, professional inspection is recommended before any setting. This chrysoberyl is more than a jewel, it is a statement, an heirloom in the making, a reflection of achievement and refined sensibility.
