Chrysoberyl Crystal – Natural Ceylon Gemstone

Discover the beauty of a natural chrysoberyl crystal, an appealing gemstone specimen for collectors, gem cutters and jewellery designers. Chrysoberyl is valued for its distinctive colours, durability and variety of natural crystal formations.

Natural Chrysoberyl Crystals from Sri Lanka

Chrysoberyl can display attractive shades of yellow, golden yellow, yellowish-green and brownish-yellow. Natural crystals may vary in shape, transparency, surface condition and internal inclusions, giving each specimen its own character.

Sri Lanka is known for its chrysoberyl-bearing gem deposits. The origin of an individual crystal should be supported by reliable evidence where Ceylon origin is claimed.

• Clarity: Transparency, inclusions and internal fractures.
• Carat weight: The weight and size of the specimen.
• Cutting potential: Suitability for faceting based on the crystal’s internal characteristics.
