This is a stunning natural turquoise offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, an opaque 10.17 carat oval shape greenish blue turquoise with precise dimensions of 15.98 x 12.09 x 7.72 mm. The gem is expertly fashioned in a classic cabochon cut that showcases a smooth domed surface and a pleasing outline, it displays a medium intense greenish blue hue that sits between soft robin egg blue and a subtle seafoam green, and the piece benefits from an excellent polish that produces a lively surface sheen and attractive light returns. This turquoise is untreated with no enhancement, and its natural material integrity is evident in the consistent color and overall stability of tone, making it an excellent choice for collectors and designers who prioritize authenticity and natural origin.
Originating from Persia, Iran, this turquoise carries the historic appeal associated with Persian material, prized for its pleasing tones and potential for use in elegant jewelry styles. The color and finish make this cabochon versatile, equally suited for a bezel set ring that emphasizes the dome, a pendant that lets the color read from a distance, or a pair of custom earrings when paired with complementary stones. Because the gem is opaque and well polished, it sits beautifully against both warm yellow metals and cooler white metals, and the medium intensity color will coordinate well with both sterling silver for a classic look and 18 karat gold for a richer presentation. The lack of stabilization or dye enhances its value for connoisseurs, and the substantial 10.17 carat weight and generous dimensions provide good presence in most fine jewelry designs.
For care, avoid exposure to household chemicals, prolonged immersion in water, and ultrasonic cleaners, and clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water when needed. Store separately from harder stones to prevent abrasion, and if you wish to set this cabochon in a high wear ring, consider protective bezel settings that reduce the risk of impact. If you would like bespoke setting ideas, loose matching stones, or further information about provenance and handling, please contact The Natural Gemstone Company and we will be happy to assist you with professional guidance and secure shipping options.
