Cushion-Cut Greenish-Yellow Gemstone

This item is a loose, faceted gemstone featuring a modified cushion cut. It displays a pale, greenish-yellow hue often associated with minerals such as chrysoberyl, heliodor, or certain types of green beryl. The stone is positioned against a metric ruler for scale, appearing to measure approximately 10 to 11 millimeters in length. The faceting comprises a large table with numerous peripheral facets that contribute to its internal reflections. Material-wise, it appears transparent with decent clarity, although some internal veil-like inclusions or feathers are visible under the table, suggesting a natural origin rather than a synthetic simulant. The condition shows significant 'paper-wear' or facet junction abrasion, particularly visible along the crown facets and the girdle edges. Small nicks (fleabites) are detectable on some of the sharp facet lines, indicating the stone has likely been handled loose or may have moved within its container over time. The craftsmanship of the cut is modern, aimed at maximizing light return through its multi-faceted pavilion. There are no visible maker's marks or laser inscriptions on the girdle from this angle. The overall quality suggests a mid-range commercial gemstone suitable for centering in a ring or pendant mount.
