14.58 Ct. Scapolite from Brazil

This exceptional transparent yellow scapolite offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a 14.58 carat cushion shape specimen, with dimensions of 18.17 by 12.18 by 10.27 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to marry pavilion brilliance with faceted step like crown elements, producing a balanced interplay of brilliance and scintillation. The mixed brilliant cut and the precise geometric faceting are calibrated to maximize light return, with a large roofed table and a well proportioned pavilion that channel light through the stone and scatter it across multiple facet planes. The result is a lively display of brilliance, measured fire, and crisp scintillation that remains visible under normal viewing conditions. The gem has been evaluated at eye level and graded very very slightly included, which for an educated buyer indicates that inclusions are effectively invisible to unaided vision, preserving optical performance and making the stone suitable for prominent settings. The polish is excellent, which enhances facet crispness and surface reflectivity, and the medium intense color intensity communicates a saturated yet wearable yellow tone that reads bright in both daylight and artificial lighting.

From a provenance and treatment perspective this scapolite originates from Brazil, and it has no enhancement, making it a fully natural example of the species with untreated color and clarity, attributes that informed collectors and connoisseurs value highly. At 14.58 carats this is a significant size for scapolite, a gem that is less common in larger clean stones than many other gem species, which adds to its appeal and market distinction. The clarity grade together with the excellent polish and the intentional mixed brilliant geometry produce a stone that performs well under loupe and at sight, demonstrating even facet contrast, strong return of white light, and lively flash when moved, characteristics that signal expert cutting. For buyers seeking a showpiece that combines scientific grading transparency, natural origin, and superior cutting to exploit optical phenomena, this yellow scapolite represents an attractive balance of rarity, aesthetic performance, and investment merit. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this gem as an ideal candidate for bespoke high end jewelry, museum quality collections, or as a signature statement stone for a ring or pendant, where its size and precision faceting will be enjoyed and appreciated for generations.
