0.97 Ct. Turquoise from USA

Turquoise is a gemstone beloved by many for its captivating color and the rich cultural history it carries. The gemstone being described is an entrancing example of why turquoise has maintained its popularity across the globe for centuries. This particular piece is a 0.97 carat opaque turquoise, well-known for its alluring robust hue and graceful round shape. It measures 7.15 x 7.20 x 2.47 mm, making it a versatile size that can be prominently featured in a variety of jewelry settings without being overwhelming.
The turquoise features a cabochon cut, a style especially well-suited for opaque gemstones, which enhances the stone’s natural beauty by presenting a smooth, rounded surface that invites light to dance across its top.

The turquoise has an excellent polish, ensuring that the surface is smooth to the touch and displays a reflective sheen that enhances the stone’s appeal.

Turquoise is commonly used in a variety of jewelry pieces such as necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings, and can also serve as an ornamental stone. Its striking color makes it the perfect choice for both casual wear and more formal, elegant occasions. The blue and green hues traditionally associated with turquoise are said to have calming properties and are often linked with meanings of peace, good fortune, and protection.
