All varieties of chrysoberyl can make prized and durable stones for any kind of jewelry setting.

The transparent variety of chrysoberyl makes a handsome faceted gem. With indistinct cleavage and hardness of 8.5, it's one of the toughest stones for jewelry purposes. In general, the bright yellow and yellow-green shades are the most desirable colors, but some of the browns are also striking.
