3.04 Ct. Cabochon Carnelian from Brazil

When you are searching for a singular gemstone that completes a meaningful jewelry project or becomes the focal piece in a curated collection, this pear shape red carnelian answers that search with confidence. The Natural Gemstone Company brings you a translucent 3.04 carat carnelian that speaks to both the heart and the eye, especially for buyers who want an immediate sense of presence and personality in a single stone. If you are looking for a gem that will translate into an unforgettable engagement ring, a striking pendant, or a museum quality addition to a rare gemstone cabinet, this carnelian stands ready to meet that need. The pear shape offers graceful lines that flatter both classic and contemporary settings, and the cabochon cut enhances the stone for a soft luminous glow that reads beautifully in hand or on display.

This carnelian measures 10.21 by 7.17 by 5.56 mm, and the precise proportions make it especially well suited to bezel and prong settings that celebrate the teardrop silhouette. The cabochon cut has been executed to exacting standards, producing an excellent polish that yields a satiny surface and smooth reflections across the dome. Clarity is graded eye clean at eye level, which means the surface and body present to the naked eye without distracting inclusions, allowing the vivid color intensity to remain the dominant quality. Enhancement is recorded as dyeing, a common and accepted treatment for carnelian that delivers richer, more uniform red tones, while still preserving the natural charm of the material. Origin is Brazil, a source known for providing well formed, translucent carnelians, and this specimen carries that provenance with pride.

The exceptional cut and brilliance of this cabochon make it a true centerpiece in any collection, and the way the light plays across the dome gives the surface a lively, warm sheen rather than a flat color. Many customers seek a gem that does not merely sit politely in a setting but actively engages the eye, and this carnelian does exactly that. Its vivid red color moves between fiery and coral depending on ambient light, which creates visual interest and a sense of motion. For collectors who enjoy creating coordinated sets, this carnelian pairs wonderfully with White Opal, as the soft play and pale body of the opal provide contrast to the saturated warmth of the carnelian. Designers will find that a small accent White Opal set alongside this pear shape cabochon elevates both stones, offering an elegant balance between warmth and coolness, between solidity and iridescence.
