6.40 Ct. Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent Other certified green chrysoberyl is a well executed cabochon weighing 6.40 carats, with precise dimensions of 9.12 by 8.47 by 8.28 millimeters, oval outline, and a notably high dome profile. The cabochon cut has been executed to preserve maximum material and color saturation, resulting in intense color intensity across the face of the stone while maintaining an eye clean clarity grade when examined at normal viewing distance. The piece exhibits excellent polish, producing high surface luster that accentuates the stone control of light transmission through its translucent body. There are no enhancements reported, and the laboratory color classification is Green. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing chrysoberyls with fine chromatic depth, and the stone is provided with Other certification documentation for verification.

From a gemological and setting perspective this specimen benefits from the inherent durability of chrysoberyl, which has a Mohs hardness near 8.5 and a high refractive index that supports strong light return even in a non-faceted form. The cabochon profile is proportioned to maximize perceived saturation and to reduce visible inclusions at face up orientation, a technique commonly used in quality lapidary work to emphasize color uniformity and translucency. The nearly equal depth relative to the length and width indicates a substantial dome height, producing a pleasing optical face and durable bezel seating options. Recommended settings include low to medium bezel work to protect the perimeter while allowing the dome to display color under changing light, and designers may orient the long axis to complement typical finger proportions for rings or to center over a pendant bail for optimal viewing. For collectors and setters seeking an unenhanced, natural Ceylon green chrysoberyl, The Natural Gemstone Company offers this piece with clear documentation of origin and lab color classification, and it presents as a technically refined cabochon that balances lapidary craftsmanship, aesthetic intensity, and practical wearability.
