2.02 ct Certified Natural Ceylon Yellowish Green Chrysoberyl – Oval Brilliant Mixed Cut
INTRODUCTION
This 2.02 ct certified natural chrysoberyl originates from Elahera, Sri Lanka, and displays an attractive yellowish-green body color with subtle mint-green influences and golden facet reflections.
Measuring 8.37 × 6.80 × 5.91 mm, the gemstone features an oval brilliant mixed cut and transparent appearance. It has reported high-grade VVS clarity, while its no indication of treatment.
NATURAL CHRYSOBERYL AND COLOR
Chrysoberyl is a naturally occurring beryllium aluminium oxide mineral with the chemical composition BeAl₂O₄. It belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system and has a Mohs hardness of 8.5.
Natural chrysoberyl occurs in yellow, greenish-yellow, yellowish-green, and other color varieties.
This specimen displays a yellowish-green color with a mint-green influence. Its appearance resembles certain vanadium-bearing chrysoberyls, but vanadium content and its role in the gemstone’s color remain unconfirmed. Advanced spectroscopic and trace-element testing would be necessary for that identification.
OVAL BRILLIANT MIXED CUT
The gemstone is finished in an oval brilliant mixed cut, combining different faceting arrangements to produce attractive reflections and a balanced appearance.
Its polished facets reveal combinations of yellowish green, mint green, and warmer golden reflections under changing light.
The 8.37 × 6.80 × 5.91 mm measurements provide useful proportions for jewelry designers and manufacturers planning custom settings.
RED FLUORESCENCE UNDER SHORT-WAVE UV
The gemstone reportedly displays red fluorescence under short-wave ultraviolet illumination.
Fluorescence occurs when a material absorbs ultraviolet radiation and emits visible light. This optical response is distinct from the gemstone’s ordinary body color.
The observed fluorescence does not independently confirm vanadium or any other specific trace element and should not be confused with alexandrite-style color change.
ELAHERA ORIGIN AND JEWELRY USE
This natural chrysoberyl comes from Elahera, a recognized gemstone-producing region in Sri Lanka’s North Central Province.
Chrysoberyl’s Mohs hardness of 8.5 makes it suitable for many fine jewelry applications, including custom rings, pendants, and collector settings, with appropriate care.
