Natural · Unheated · Antique Modified Oval Cut

Bright, distinctive, and full of character, this natural yellow chrysoberyl embodies a pleasing yellow color with lively flashes of chartreuse, lemon, and golden yellow. Its elongated oval outline and antique modified brilliant cutting style give the stone a personality that feels less standardized than a modern commercial cut.

Weighing 3.83 carats, the gemstone has substantial presence while maintaining an elegant, balanced face-up appearance. The deeper proportions contribute to concentrated color and create bold internal reflections as the stone moves through the light. Its slightly included clarity is consistent with a natural gemstone and does not diminish the overall visual impact of the stone.

Chrysoberyl is a distinct mineral species—not a variety of beryl—and is particularly valued by collectors for its brilliance, durability, and relative scarcity in strong, attractive colors. Yellow chrysoberyl is considerably less familiar to the public than sapphire or topaz, making this an appealing choice for a collector seeking something both beautiful and outside the conventional gemstone categories.

Most importantly, the accompanying report states that there is no evidence of heat treatment, preserving the gemstone’s natural color character. The combination of its vivid coloration, nearly four-carat weight, antique-style cutting, and untreated status gives this stone meaningful collector appeal.

Why Otzera Selected It

This chrysoberyl was selected for its unusually energetic color and distinctive cutting personality. It is not a quiet pastel stone: the vivid yellow body color is energized by a subtle green influence that produces a fresh, almost electric appearance. The antique modified oval cut adds individuality and reinforces the sense that this is a one-of-a-kind collectible rather than a standardized commercial gemstone.
