0.95 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from Persia(Iran)

There is a deep and continuing story behind every natural turquoise, and this particular Persian gem carries that story with a quiet authority. Sourced from the storied mines of Persia, now Iran, this blue turquoise harkens back to centuries of admiration by kings, poets, and artisans who treasured its calm and luminous hue. At 0.95 carats the cabochon sits comfortably between a delicate accent and a striking focal point, offering proportion and presence without ostentation. The oval shape measures 8.07 by 5.96 by 2.60 mm, dimensions that reveal the careful selection and cutting performed to preserve both the identity of the stone and its ability to sit gracefully in classic settings. We at The Natural Gemstone Company appreciate how Persian turquoise has been valued through ages for its vivid color and cultural resonance, and we present this stone as an authentic link to that tradition, entirely natural, with no enhancement.

Physically the gem speaks to timeless craftsmanship and a reverence for substance over artifice. The cabochon cut allows the intense color intensity to bloom across the surface, with an excellent polish that reflects light evenly and gives the stone a glasslike serenity. Its opaque body is uniform and true, conveying a sense of permanence and solidity that has made turquoise such a beloved material for ceremonial objects and everyday adornments alike. Because this piece is untreated, the color is wholly natural, and its surface reveals the minerality and formation processes that created it, rather than a laboratory alteration. The smooth dome and measured proportions make it ideal for settings that honor tradition, such as bezel mounted pendants, classic signet rings, and heritage earrings. For the jeweler and the collector, the dimensions and weight provide a clear guide to design, and the stone’s polish and color mean it will read as a refined and cultured statement in any heirloom project.

Owning a gem like this is to participate in a long lineage of appreciation and careful stewardship. Persian turquoise has long been a talisman of protection and status, and when set with intention it becomes a wearable piece of history, something to pass to future generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we believe in matching such stones with designs that respect their origin and character, and we welcome conversations about setting options that will allow the stone to retain its voice while fitting into a modern life. For care, treat it as you would any treasured mineral with organic components, avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to water and cosmetics, and clean gently with a soft cloth to preserve the polish. As an unenhanced natural turquoise, this 0.95 carat oval cabochon offers not only visual beauty but also provenance and authenticity, making it a meaningful acquisition for collectors, designers, and those who love jewelry that tells a story.
