The enchanting bright yellowish-green color of this oval chrysoberyl loose gemstone will add energy and drama to any jewelry setting. The 7x5 oval gemstone is mined in India and has a sparkling faceted cut and a weight of 3/4 carat. Chrysoberyl derives its name from the Greek words
chrysos and
beryllos, meaning "golden," and "pale green gem." It is the third hardest naturally occurring gemstone; only corundum and diamond are harder. This makes chrysoberyl an extremely durable and versatile choice for all types of jewelry. To maintain this gemstone's beauty, clean it periodically using a commercial jewelry cleaning solution or warm soapy water and a soft brush, and avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
