12.52 Ct. Scapolite from Brazil

Scapolite carries a quiet, enduring presence in the history of gemstone collecting, a stone admired by connoisseurs for its understated nobility and timeless appeal. This example embodies that legacy, a transparent 12.52 carat cushion shape yellow scapolite from Brazil, measuring 17.56 x 14.21 x 8.83 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant fashion to balance lively scintillation with broad, luminous facets. The gem is eye clean evaluated at eye level, with a medium color intensity that evokes warm golden sunlight, and an excellent polish that allows light to dance across its surface. Untreated and free of enhancement, this scapolite preserves its natural story from mine to jewel, a quality that appeals deeply to those who value authenticity and provenance in heirloom pieces.

When set beside more common gemstones, this yellow scapolite reveals its distinct character in the way it returns light, a refined brilliance that differs from the sharp, icy fire of diamond, and from the denser, velvety glow of sapphire or emerald. Where diamond emphasizes white sparkle and high dispersion, scapolite offers a warmer, more enveloping radiance, a golden clarity that feels both intimate and regal. Compared with citrine or yellow topaz, this scapolite stands apart through rarity of size and origin, and through the craftsmanship of its mixed brilliant cut which enhances both sparkle and depth. The result is a gem that catches the eye not by mimicry, but by offering a unique optical personality, a balance of sparkle and internal light that draws attention to color and clarity in equal measure. For collectors who prize storied beauty, this piece presents a rare opportunity, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it as part of our curated collection. We invite you to view detailed imagery and provenance information, and to consider this exceptional Brazilian scapolite as a centerpiece that will carry a legacy across generations.
