5.82 Ct. Cabochon Carnelian from Brazil

One of the most compelling pieces available from The Natural Gemstone Company is this translucent carnelian, weighing 5.82 carats, presented in a classic pear shape. Its dimensions are 14.00 x 10.16 x 5.78 mm, and it has been expertly fashioned as a cabochon, which allows the warm reddish orange body color to glow with a soft internal depth. The stone is graded eye clean at eye level, it displays intense color intensity, and the polish is excellent, giving the surface a mirror like luster that catches the light without distraction. This carnelian is of Brazilian origin, and it has been enhanced by dyeing, a disclosed treatment that intensifies the hue while preserving the stone quality and stability. For collectors who value a balance of rich color and classic shaping, this pear cabochon sits between fine gem specimens and wearable art, making it a perfect addition to a high end gemstone collection.

When compared to other market offerings, this carnelian stands out for its combination of translucency, color saturation, and finishing. Many carnelians on the market are either too muted, overly opaque, or lack careful finishing, which leaves them suitable only for lower grade settings. This example brings translucency that allows light to interact with the stone, producing a warm internal glow that is more evocative than flat or chalky material. In contrast to White Opal, which is prized for play of color and delicate body tones, this carnelian offers dependable, vibrant color that performs exceptionally well in both modern and traditional settings. Where White Opal can be more fragile and requires careful protective mounting, this carnelian is durable enough for a range of jewelry designs while still presenting the refined aesthetic that collectors expect from premium gemstones.

Designers and collectors will appreciate the versatility of the pear shape and cabochon cut, which together lend themselves to prominent solitaire rings, pendant focal points, or elegant statement earrings. The dimensions of 14.00 x 10.16 x 5.78 mm are generous enough to command attention without overwhelming a design, and the cabochon profile allows the intense reddish orange color to read consistently under varied lighting conditions. Compared to faceted stones of similar carat weight, this cabochon offers a softer, more organic presence that pairs well with warm metals and contrasted with cooler tones such as white gold to create dynamic compositions. For those who enjoy juxtaposing textures and colors, pairing this carnelian with a White Opal can create a striking interplay between solid warmth and opalescent shimmer, offering both harmony and contrast in a single piece.

Choosing this carnelian from The Natural Gemstone Company means selecting a stone from a source that prioritizes quality, transparency, and value.

Compared to many mass market imports, this gem is presented with precise measurements and a clear assessment of clarity and polish, which removes uncertainty and positions it as a reliable investment for serious collections. Whether you are expanding a curated cabinet of gems or seeking a standout center stone for a bespoke commission, this translucent pear shaped carnelian offers a superior combination of color, finish, and presence, making it an ideal and enduring choice for the high end collector.
