Our Chrysoberyl

Chrysoberyl is a gem which we love at Swala Gem Traders. It has many of the characteristics we enjoy in a gem. The color of a Chrysoberyl is often beautiful and not common for a gem. The refractive index is high. The gem is hard. It is not heated, nor treated. Chrysoberyls are rare and even more so in big size. The ones we buy and sell are from southern Tanzania. These yellow chrysoberyls are usually very attractive when there are no grey nor brown contents.
