Product Description

This 80-gram (400-carat) parcel of natural Chrysoberyl rough from Sri Lanka is a mix of green, golden, and light green tones stones for lapidary work. The lot includes stones ranging from under 1 carat up to 5 carats, with a variety of clarity grades from transparent to included, making it ideal for lapidary artists and gemstone dealers. Untreated and offered in small bulk lots, this parcel is a great choice for start-up buyers who are looking for buying rough material. 

1. How can I know if this Chrysoberyl rough parcel is genuine and untreated?

Answer: Genuine Chrysoberyl rough is identified by its hardness (8.5 on Mohs scale). Chrysoberyl has vitreous luster with a popular characteristic colors ranging from yellow-green to golden-green. Look for natural inclusions inside the stone which will help in identification of the gemstone. The type of inclusions gives us clue whether the stone is genuine or not. 


2. Is this Chrysoberyl rough parcel suitable for faceting, cabbing, or just collecting?

Answer: This 80-gram parcel contains mixed sizes (under 1 ct to 5 ct) with varying clarity levels—transparent to included. The transparent and semi-transparent pieces are good for faceting into gemstones, while slightly included stones are ideal for cabbing or carving. Even heavily included pieces have value for beginners in lapidary practice or for collectors of natural mineral specimens. This makes the parcel versatile, especially for start-up dealers and lapidary artists.
