14.85 Ct. Scapolite from Brazil

One transparent cushion shape yellow scapolite, 14.85 carats, dimensions 17.55 by 13.96 by 10.20 mm, mixed brilliant cut, clarity grade eye clean evaluated at eye level, color intensity medium intense, excellent polish, no enhancement, origin Brazil. The gem presents a clean, evenly distributed yellow tone with strong light return from the mixed brilliant faceting, offering a balance of scintillation and broad flashes of color. At this substantial weight and size the stone maintains excellent transparency, with no surface or internal features visible to the unaided eye, reflecting careful rough selection and precise cutting. The lack of enhancement is a distinguishing characteristic of this piece, preserving the natural chemical and optical properties imparted by its Brazilian provenance, and the excellent polish emphasizes the cut geometry and overall symmetry.

Compared to laboratory grown gemstones, natural scapolite offers distinct advantages that are often sought by collectors and connoisseurs, and The Natural Gemstone Company documents these attributes as part of our standard presentation. Natural stones record geological history through subtle variations in trace elements and internal character, which contribute to unique color expression and individuality that cannot be identically reproduced in a lab. Provenance from a recognized locality such as Brazil supports traceability and contributes to long term desirability, and an untreated, eye clean specimen of this size is less commonly encountered in the market than equivalent lab grown material. While lab grown stones provide consistency and cost efficiency, natural gemstones tend to retain collectibility and market confidence over time, particularly when they are well documented and free of treatments. For buyers prioritizing singularity, natural origin, and unenhanced material, this 14.85 carat yellow scapolite represents a clear, measured choice, supported by The Natural Gemstone Company through careful evaluation, photographic documentation, and transparent reporting of the stone characteristics.
