This precision faceted chrysoberyl from Tunduru, Tanzania, displays a clean yellow tone with bright brilliance. Chrysoberyl is well known for its hardness and durability, making it an excellent choice for jewelry. It is also the mineral species that gives us alexandrite, the rare color-change variety. Tunduru is an important source of gem chrysoberyl, producing stones with lively saturation and clarity. Fine yellow chrysoberyl, such as this example, is valued for its attractive color and resilience.
