5.78 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Carnelian Pair from Brazil

The Natural Gemstone Company offers a matched pair of transparent orange carnelians, presented as a refined set for jewelry use, weighing 2.79 carats and 2.99 carats respectively. Each stone is cut as an oval cabochon, with the first measuring 10.26 by 8.16 by 4.41 millimeters and the second measuring 10.17 by 8.07 by 4.71 millimeters. The cabochon profile is smoothly domed, providing even depth and a consistent surface contour that complements the warm orange hue. The stones exhibit an intense color intensity that is well distributed across each cabochon, producing a visually uniform appearance when viewed face up. The pair is transparent, allowing for soft light transmission that enhances the saturation and depth of the orange color, while the polished surfaces show a high degree of luster and reflectivity consistent with an excellent polish rating.

Quality assessment of these carnelians focuses on clarity, color, cut, and finish. Both stones carry a clarity grade of eye clean as evaluated at eye level, with no inclusions visible to the unaided eye under standard viewing conditions. The cabochon cut has been executed to provide symmetrical outline and balanced proportions, and the excellent polish contributes to a smooth, tactile finish and sharp surface reflection. These stones have been enhanced by dyeing, a common practice for carnelian material to achieve or stabilize vivid coloration, and this treatment is disclosed in keeping with industry standards. Origin information is documented as Brazil, and the material exhibits the typical physical and visual properties associated with Brazilian carnelian, including consistent tone and warm orange saturation. The combination of transparency, intense color, and careful cutting results in a pair that reads as a coordinated set, suitable for matched applications in paired jewelry components.

Practical considerations for use and care are straightforward and align with standard handling for semi precious chalcedony varieties. The cabochon format makes these stones well suited to bezel settings, closed back mounts, or designs that emphasize the smooth domed surface and even color field, and the near matching dimensions allow for symmetrical earring pairs or companion stones in a multi stone composition. Routine cleaning with mild soap and warm water and a soft cloth is advisable, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning methods unless confirmed safe by a qualified professional, and secure setting practices are recommended to protect against knocks and abrasion. The Natural Gemstone Company can provide additional imagery, measurements, and viewing options upon request, and will provide transparent documentation of the dyeing enhancement and Brazilian origin with the sale. These two cabochon carnelians present a balanced combination of color, clarity, and finish, making them a reliable choice for designers and collectors seeking a coordinated pair with documented treatment and provenance.
