6.98 Ct. Yellowish Green Cabochon Chrysoberyl from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A whisper of sunlit forest rests within this translucent oval of yellowish green chrysoberyl, a gem that seems to hold a quiet afternoon inside its cabochon heart. Weighing 6.98 carats, and shaped as an elegant oval measuring 10.37 x 9.97 x 6.69 mm, this stone offers a soft, luminous presence that invites the eye to linger. The cabochon cut smooths the surface into a polished dome, allowing a silky chatoyant band and the intense color intensity to glide across the stone like light on water. Slightly included when judged at eye level, the inclusions are delicate and honest, lending depth rather than distraction, while an excellent polish gives the chrysoberyl a glassy sheen that magnifies its inner glow. Untreated and true to its origins in Ceylon Sri Lanka, this gem carries the island silence, the patience of earth and time, a natural treasure presented exactly as it grew, with no enhancement to alter its story.

Beyond its beauty this chrysoberyl is crafted by nature to endure, with a Mohs hardness of 8.5 that stands as a promise of resilience for everyday adornment. Its toughness and resistance to scratching make it especially suitable for rings and other pieces that meet the world daily, while the cabochon form distributes wear evenly and helps protect the stone from chipping. Gentle care will keep it radiant through seasons of life, yet its intrinsic strength allows it to witness mornings, meetings, embraces and ordinary magic without falter. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this Ceylon chrysoberyl as both a romantic relic and a practical companion, perfect for a sentimental ring or a cherished pendant that will be worn and loved. Imagine it set in warm gold to echo its yellow green heart, or cradled in cool platinum to let its inner light sing, an enduring emblem of affection that is as capable of keeping secrets as it is of catching sunlight.
