Buy Chrysoberyls in Beruwala, Sri Lanka

Honey-gold to greenish Ceylon chrysoberyl with glassy lustre and excellent hardness. Understated, durable, and fairly priced.

Outside its famous cat's-eye and colour-change forms, plain chrysoberyl is one of the trade's quiet achievers: a honey-gold to greenish stone with glassy lustre and a hardness of about 8.5, just below sapphire. Ceylon material is well regarded, and the stone's durability makes it a natural choice for rings worn daily.

Chrysoberyl is typically untreated, and its price sits well below the more glamorous members of its family — which makes it good value for buyers who care about wearability and cut. Look for a bright, clean body colour without a brownish or greyish cast, and a cut that returns light evenly. Fine larger stones exist, though most of what reaches the market is modest in size.

What to check when buying chrysoberyls

  • Look for a bright, clean body colour without a brownish or greyish cast.
  • Check the cut returns light evenly — chrysoberyl is often cut plainly, and a dull stone loses its appeal.
  • Ask about treatment; plain chrysoberyl is typically untreated, and the price should reflect that.
  • Compare size against price — larger fine stones exist but are uncommon, so question anything described as exceptional.
