3.04 Ct. Cabochon Carnelian from Brazil

If you are searching for a singular center stone that will stop conversations, or a rare specimen to add to a carefully curated collection, this pear shaped red carnelian from The Natural Gemstone Company answers that search with confidence, clarity, and timeless warmth. We often meet customers who want the rich emotional resonance of red, the dependable durability for everyday wear, and the eye catching glow that only a well cut cabochon can deliver, and this 3.04 carat carnelian meets those needs directly. The gem measures 10.21 x 7.17 x 5.56 mm, and its pear shape cabochon cut is designed to flatter both bezel and prong settings, making it an excellent choice for engagement rings, pendants, and statement pieces. Clarity grade eye clean evaluated at eye level assures you that the surface and body of the stone are free from distractions, while vivid color intensity and an excellent polish supply the luminous finish collectors and designers prize. Enhancement dyeing is disclosed, and the origin is Brazil, giving you honest provenance and a vibrant, consistent tone that photographs and performs beautifully in real life.

Imagine the way this translucent red carnelian reads on the hand, when set into a warm gold bezel or a clean, modern white metal mount. The cabochon cut softens the light into a honey like internal glow, and the pear shape creates a graceful elongation that flatters the finger, the neckline, and the everyday wardrobe. At 3.04 carat the stone has a presence that is noticeable without overpowering, and the precise dimensions of 10.21 x 7.17 x 5.56 mm make it easy for jewelers to design a balanced setting that protects the cabochon profile. The excellent polish means each facet of the domed surface reflects light evenly, creating the appearance of depth and motion as the piece moves, and the vivid color intensity ensures that the red remains lively even under softer indoor lighting. We believe in transparency about treatments, so you will appreciate knowing that dyeing was applied to enrich and stabilize the hue, a common and accepted practice that enhances the beauty while retaining the natural character of the carnelian.

For collectors and designers who care about story as much as beauty, the Brazilian origin of this carnelian adds an appealing regional narrative, and the eye clean clarity grade reinforces that this is a gem you can admire without magnification. Carnelian with this level of translucency and color saturation is especially desirable among connoisseurs who seek stones with a warm glow rather than an opaque mass. If you are considering a matched set or a complementary palette, consider pairing this carnelian with White Opal accent stones, as the soft iridescence and cool body tone of White Opal offer a striking counterpoint to the vivid red. White Opal will brighten the overall design, creating contrast that highlights the carnelian center, or you may choose to combine small White Opal cabochons in a halo layout for a vintage inspired effect. At The Natural Gemstone Company our gemologists can advise on matching sizes and color pairings, ensuring that the White Opal you select harmonizes with the carnelian rather than competing with it.
