6.87 Ct. Cabochon Carnelian from Brazil

Imagine the moment you present a gift that seems to glow from within, a warm, sunlit memory made permanent. This extraordinary translucent 6.87 carat oval orange carnelian, measuring 14.19 x 10.08 x 6.10 mm, is more than a stone, it is an invitation to feel. Hand shaped into a classic cabochon cut, its domed silhouette captures and softens light, creating a gentle, luminous presence that draws the eye and warms the heart. The color is intense and unashamed, a rich orange that carries the warmth of summer afternoons and the comfort of a cherished embrace. Evaluated at eye level, this carnelian is eye clean, free from visible inclusions, and its excellent polish renders a glasslike surface that invites touch, reflection, and admiration. Originating from the mineral rich terrains of Brazil, and enhanced by dyeing to deepen its vivid tone, this gem celebrates both natural beauty and the skillful care that brings its color to life.

Let this carnelian be the centerpiece of a story you will tell for years, whether set into a timeless pendant, a statement ring, or a pair of intimate earrings. Its proportions translate beautifully into designs that balance boldness with elegance, the oval shape lending itself to both classic and contemporary settings. Imagine it embraced by the warm glow of yellow gold, where the metal amplifies its orange fire, or paired with rose gold for a romantic, vintage inspired feel. For a modern contrast, let cool sterling or white gold frame it, creating a striking interplay between warmth and brightness. For those who love the dance between color and light, consider pairing this carnelian with White Opal accents, the soft, pearly flashes of the opal playing against the solid warmth of the carnelian, creating a composition that speaks of sunsets and moonlit walks, joy and quiet intimacy.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we believe a gemstone should be treasured and understood. This carnelian has been enhanced by dyeing, a common and accepted treatment that intensifies its natural hue and creates the saturated orange that captivates at first glance. We disclose this openly because honesty is part of the beauty we promise, and because knowing how a piece was treated helps you care for it properly. Dyed stones respond best to gentle, mindful care. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, and remove the piece during heavy cleaning or activities that could subject it to strong knocks or extreme heat. Clean with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, rinse gently, and dry carefully to preserve the stone and its polish. When you choose this carnelian from The Natural Gemstone Company you are choosing craftsmanship, traceable origin, and respect for the gem and its future place in your life.

Owning this oval orange carnelian is more than acquiring a gem, it is creating a memory that carries emotion and meaning. Picture it resting against the skin of someone you love, a gift that marks a milestone, an anniversary, a birthday, or the promise of a new chapter. Our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is here to help you imagine that perfect setting, to suggest complementary gems and metals, and to assist with custom design so your piece reflects the love and joy you intend to express. If you desire a companion stone, we can recommend White Opal accents to softly illuminate the carnelian, or other warm tones to amplify its fire. Reach out and let us guide you through the experience of bringing this luminous, polished, eye clean treasure from Brazil into your life, where it will become a beloved heirloom and a radiant reminder of moments that matter.
