Green Beryl

This natural, untreated green beryl, weighing 2.51 ct, was cut from a rough crystal weighing 29.00 ct. It was cut from the same original crystal as a 1.52 ct trillion and a 3.78 ct pear.

Its luminous yellowish-green color gives the gemstone a fresh, warm, and exceptionally vibrant appearance. Depending on the angle of the light, sunny yellow and clear green hues stand out to varying degrees and combine to create a harmonious color effect of particular charm.

Inside the stone, several small, bubble-like natural inclusions are visible. They give the crystal a unique character and attest to its natural formation without significantly detracting from its beauty. The high transparency and vibrant play of light are preserved almost entirely.

The superbly executed oval cut combines harmonious proportions with precise faceting. The incoming light is refracted into numerous bright reflections, giving the green beryl a striking brilliance that is scarcely affected by its small natural characteristics. Even with the slightest movement, the stone begins to glow impressively.

From its documented origin as a 29.00 ct rough crystal to the finished gemstone, this green beryl exemplifies meticulous cutting planning, masterful craftsmanship, and the authentic individuality of a natural crystal. Its vibrant yellowish-green color, harmonious shape, and virtually undiminished brilliance make it a distinctive piece within this ensemble of three sister stones.

The origin of this gemstone: Rough crystal: 29.00 ct

Cut from this rough crystal:

• Green beryl trillion, TI10/1 – 1.52 ct
• Green beryl oval, TI10/2 – 2.51 ct
• Green beryl pear, TI10/3 – 3.78 ct

Total yield: 7.81 ct – 26.9% of the rough weight

Why is the yield so low?
When cutting a gemstone, the focus is not on achieving the highest possible final weight, but on achieving the best possible combination of color, clarity, brilliance, and proportions. A large portion of the original crystal is intentionally removed to bring out the gemstone’s natural beauty to the fullest.

Interesting Facts About Green Beryl

Green Beryl belongs to the beryl mineral family and is therefore closely related to aquamarine, emerald, heliodor, morganite, and goshenite. Its color range extends from very delicate, almost transparent shades of green to fresh mint green and greenish-yellow hues. Unlike emerald, green beryl typically displays a significantly lighter and less saturated color. It is precisely this subtle restraint that gives it its characteristic lightness and elegant naturalness.

Particularly captivating is the constantly shifting interplay of green, yellow, and, occasionally, a cool bluish sheen. Depending on the crystal’s orientation, the angle of light, and the viewing angle, individual color nuances may stand out with varying degrees of clarity. This pleochroism makes high-quality green beryls appear vibrant and ever-changing, giving each cut stone a distinctive character.

The beauty of a green beryl arises from the harmonious interplay of color, transparency, and light. Particularly clear crystals allow light to flow through the gemstone almost unimpeded, thereby developing a bright, open brilliance. A precisely executed cut can enhance the delicate hues, reveal different nuances, and lend the stone a remarkable visual depth.

While emeralds are characterized primarily by intense color saturation and aquamarines by their blue to greenish-blue color palette, green beryl has a calmer and often particularly fresh appearance. Mint green, yellow-green, or slightly greenish-blue tones appear natural, elegant, and exceptionally versatile. 

Especially when combined with high transparency, it creates a delicate, almost weightless beauty. As a natural and untreated variety of beryl, green beryl embodies the diversity with which a single mineral can manifest itself in different color tones. Its delicate nuances, its vibrant play of light, and its often pronounced pleochroism make it a unique and fascinating gemstone variety. Within the Bennad Collection, it embodies the combination of documented provenance, masterful cutting, and the unadulterated beauty of natural crystals.
