4.45 Ct. Cabochon Coral from Malaysia

This listing presents a single, natural orange coral, weighing 4.45 carat, presented in a round shape with precise dimensions of 9.21 x 9.20 x 7.59 mm. The stone is fashioned as a cabochon, exhibiting a smooth, domed surface and an even outline, consistent with quality lapidary work. The specimen is opaque, with an intense color saturation that reads as a rich orange in standard lighting, and the polish is reported as excellent, delivering a clean, reflective finish across the dome. No enhancements have been applied to this piece, and the documented origin is Malaysia, which can be relevant to collectors and lapidaries who track source provenance.

Visually, the cabochon presents a strong, uniform orange tone that is the defining characteristic of this coral. The intense color intensity contributes to a bold appearance suitable for both solitary display and integration into multi-stone designs, while the opaque body ensures consistent visual impact from any viewing angle. The domed cabochon cut maximizes surface area and color presentation, and the excellent polish enhances the stone’s luster and tactile quality. As with naturally occurring coral, fine natural grain or subtle internal patterning may be present, but the overall appearance is clean and evenly colored, with no evidence of dyeing or stabilization reported.

From a material perspective, coral is an organic gem composed primarily of calcium carbonate, and typical hardness values fall in the range of approximately 3 to 4 on the Mohs scale. For this reason, handling and mounting considerations are important to preserve surface polish and prevent abrasion. Recommended settings include bezel or partial bezel mounts that offer continuous edge protection, or pendant and earring designs where impact risk is minimized. Avoid exposing the coral to ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, or harsh chemicals, and clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water followed by a thorough drying. Storage separate from harder gemstones and abrasive materials will help maintain the integrity of the surface and the high polish.
