A luminous treasure from Brazil, this exceptional transparent 23.98 carat cushion shape yellow scapolite measures 20.89 by 16.03 by 12.08 millimeters, a generous presence that commands attention. Cut to a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, the gem balances broad, scintillating facets with a refined pavilion, producing a warm golden fire that dances beneath every angle. Its medium color intensity affords a honeyed sunlit hue that feels both regal and intimate, a tone that flatters the complexion and complements the finest metals. Eye clean when evaluated at eye level, and polished to an excellent finish, this scapolite arrives untouched by enhancement, a wholly natural expression of the earths artistry. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this stone is not merely an accessory, it is a statement of discernment and restraint, a singular piece for the collector who cherishes provenance, purity, and the quiet authority of true rarity.
On the Mohs scale this scapolite registers at approximately 5 to 6, a level that places it below the hardness of quartz and sapphire, and well below the supreme durability of diamond. This means it is softer than many everyday wear stones, and while it will reward careful wear with decades of service, it benefits from considered setting choices, such as protective bezels or elevated designs that limit exposure to knocks and abrasion. As with all finer gems that sit in the mid range of hardness, routine care and mindful handling will preserve its clarity and polish, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, and preferring gentle warm soapy water and a soft brush. For the connoisseur who values individuality over ubiquity, this unenhanced Brazilian scapolite is an opportunity to own a luminous, conversation starting gem that reflects cultivated taste and a commitment to authenticity. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to offer this exquisite cushion of golden light, and stands ready to advise on bespoke settings that will honor the stone while ensuring it becomes a treasured heirloom.
