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

From the warm riverbeds of Brazil to the quiet bench of the lapidary, these two carnelian companions have traveled a story that makes them feel alive in the hand. Extracted from Brazilian deposits where iron rich soils coax red and orange tones from chalcedony, the rough pieces were selected for their translucency and natural glow. At The Natural Gemstone Company we matched these stones by eye and by heart, producing a pair with precise round outlines and harmonious presence. The larger gem weighs 3.07 carats and measures 9.12 by 9.11 by 4.96 mm, the smaller is 2.86 carats and measures 8.94 by 8.98 by 4.88 mm. Both are cabochon cut to showcase their soft, domed silhouette, each eye clean at normal viewing distance, with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that catches warm light like a sunset reflected on calm water. As with many fine carnelians, these pieces have undergone dyeing to enrich and stabilize their luminous reddish orange, a responsible enhancement disclosed so you may understand their true character.

The crafting of these cabochons is an intimate process, the patient shaping and polishing performed by artisans who follow centuries old traditions, honoring carnelian as a stone of vitality and protection. Hands turn each piece on the wheel until the dome is perfect, then polish brings out the depth of color and that inviting silky sheen. Matched into a pair, they speak to stories of signet rings, talismans and jewelry that is worn close to the skin to inspire courage and clarity. If you are considering them for earrings, a pendant, or a custom set, their balanced proportions and eye clean clarity make them ideal for settings that celebrate a warm, organic glow. Care for them gently, avoiding harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to intense heat or abrasive cleaners, to preserve the dye enhancement and polish over time. At The Natural Gemstone Company we treasure the provenance and the hands that shaped these stones, and we offer them to you as more than gemstones, as small, wearable fragments of Brazilian earth and human craft, ready to begin a new chapter in your life.
