The chrysoberyl family is best known for the more valuable alexandrite and cat's eye varieties, but faceted chrysoberyl is a beautiful gemstone which is not as well known in its own right. Apart from the high hardness, it takes a good polish and has a good luster. We got this 8.27 carat chrysoberyl from Sri Lanka for the attractive canary color and the outstanding cut. A few very small inclusions are visible, but for many people, the stone would be eye clean.
