Chrysoberyl, despite its name, is not related to Beryl, which is a silicate. Chrysoberyl is, in fact, an oxide. There are three types of Chrysoberyl: the golden, yellowish-green variety that is faceted into jewelry; the chatoyant variety known as Cat’s Eye or Cymophane (usually created into cabochons), and the most rare variety that changes color from green in ultraviolet light to red in artificial light known as Alexandrite.

Chrysoberyl is an effective protective stone and, since ancient times, has been used to keep disaster at bay. Chrysoberyl transforms negative thoughts into positive energy. It increases self confidence and strengthens self worth. Chrysoberyl helps you to see both sides of a situation or problem. It brings compassion and generosity, and encourages forgiveness. Chrysoberyl brings the qualities of discipline and self control. It promotes concentration and the ability to learn, enabling the wearer to think clearly and far-sightedly. Chrysoberyl aligns the solar plexus and crown chakras. It opens the crown chakra and increases both spiritual and personal power. Chrysoberyl is associated with wealth and is excellent for creativity. It also promotes tolerance and harmony.

Physically, use Chrysoberyl for intestinal disorders, celiac disease, and ulcers. It can also help with exhaustion, food allergies, eyesight (especially at night), and weight loss.
