7.16 Ct. Cabochon Carnelian from Brazil

This 7.16 carat oval orange carnelian recalls the reverence and durability of gemstones that shaped human history, a warm jewel with the same timeless appeal as the carnelian amulets favored by Ancient Egyptian craftsmen and the intaglio seals of Roman hands. Translucent and glowing with an intense color that seems lit from within, this cabochon cut stone displays the silent authority of classic gems that once sealed documents and signaled status across empires. Where a White Opal enchants with fleeting flashes and shifting color, this carnelian offers steady, sunlit warmth that reads as reliability and legacy. The satin sheen of its excellent polish and the eye clean clarity evaluated at eye level invite comparison to historic treasures not by fame alone, but by the way it carries light, history, and purpose together.

Measured at 14.16 by 9.99 by 6.46 millimeters, this oval cabochon from Brazil is a rare balance of size and wearable grace, suitable for a vintage inspired ring or a pendant that honors tradition. Enhancement by dyeing has intensified its orange tone, a disclosure that preserves both transparency and trust in provenance, and its polished dome offers the tactile comfort of a gem meant to be handled and admired across generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this piece as more than a gemstone, it is an heirloom in waiting, a stone that nods to the blood red garnets of medieval treasuries and the warm hessonites of Indian courts while remaining uniquely modern in hue and finish. For collectors who value narrative, this carnelian is an invitation to continue a lineage of adornment that prizes meaning as much as beauty, a gem that will patinate the way stories do, becoming richer with every wear.
