5.75 Ct. Cabochon Carnelian from Brazil

One beautiful translucent 5.75 carat pear shape orange carnelian, dimensions 14.06 x 10.08 x 5.79 mm, rests like captured sunlight beneath a glossy skin. The cabochon cut softens its silhouette and allows a warm, molten glow to pool at the heart of the stone. Imagine a slow sunrise distilled into a single teardrop, the kind of color that hums with promise and remembers warm afternoons. Its pear silhouette is at once elegant and intimate, a shape that reads like a whispered vow when set to cradle the pulse of a finger or to hang like a secret close to the heart. As you turn it in gentle light, the translucence breathes, inviting your gaze to travel through depths of orange that shimmer from honey gold to sunset amber.

This carnelian shows a clarity grade eye clean at eye level, and the effect is immediate and honest. No cloudy interruptions upset the visual calm, allowing the eye to wander over unbroken planes of color. The color intensity is intense, an unabashed statement of warmth and vitality, and the polish is excellent, a mirror finish that makes the surface sing under touch and light. It is important to honor truth in beauty, so please note that this gem has been enhanced by dyeing, a treatment that enriches and stabilizes its vibrant hue. The story of its provenance is Brazilian earth and patience, a place where mineral and memory conspired to shape this perfect warm drop, a small geography of light that carries with it the atmosphere of its origin.

Imagine pairing this orange carnelian with a White Opal to compose a duet of fire and moonlight. The White Opal, soft and iridescent, will cradle the carnelian like a cool whisper against a warm cheek, allowing the intense orange to stand out while adding an ethereal shimmer to the overall composition. Such a pairing by The Natural Gemstone Company would create contrast and conversation, a balance between the grounding heat of carnelian and the spectral, shifting glow of opal. In a bespoke setting, the pear shape can be oriented to suggest a single droplet of dawn, or set tip downward to elongate and flatter, or set tip upward to invite the eye to linger and then fall. The cabochon surface invites the hand to touch, and it settles comfortably into a bezel or a soft halo, where metal and stone embrace.
