Yellowish Green Chrysoberyl

Yellowish green chrysoberyl is a distinctive natural gemstone admired for its attractive combination of yellow and green tones. Its subtle golden-green appearance, vitreous lustre and excellent durability make it an interesting choice for gemstone collectors, jewellery designers and fine gemstone enthusiasts.

Chrysoberyl is a beryllium aluminium oxide mineral with the chemical formula BeAl₂O₄. It crystallises in the orthorhombic crystal system and has a Mohs hardness of 8.5, making it one of the harder natural gemstones used in jewellery.

Yellowish green chrysoberyl is distinct from alexandrite, which displays a characteristic colour-change effect, and cat’s-eye chrysoberyl, which exhibits chatoyancy.
