If ever there was a pièce de résistance in golden-brown chrysoberyl, this is it.
Neither words nor images adequately portray how pristinely bright and clean this stone looks.
The brilliance on it is amazing and it has a mesmerizing cold crystalline sparkle that’s quite uncommon in chrysoberyls of any cut or hue. Speaking of hue, it’s likewise amazing: a mixture of yellow, brown, gold and orange that shifts throughout the day but stays bright at all times.
The stone’s behavior reminds of clean, glassy, well saturated medium to medium-light tsavorites when they’re cut into cuts with elongated, large facets such as asscher or emerald – the crisp and crystalline effect seen here is pretty much the same, which is exceptionally rare for chrysoberyls.
In a way, it’s a live demo of the fact that the generally accepted gem trade ideals don’t define beauty – the stone is a good deal more beautiful in person than many more ‘traditional’ color grades (and not to mention rarer).
