10.19 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from USA

This greenish blue turquoise cabochon weighs 10.19 carat and measures 17.76 by 14.01 by 5.60 mm, a size and weight that places it above the many small, low weight pieces commonly offered in the market, and its oval cabochon cut and excellent polish present a smooth, luminous surface that reads very clean in finished jewelry. Unlike stabilized, dyed, or reconstituted turquoise that dominate many online listings, this stone is natural and has no enhancement, a distinction that matters to collectors and designers who value longevity and authenticity. The medium light color intensity is an elegant greenish blue, a shade that offers more character than uniformly bright treated stones, and because it originates in the USA this turquoise carries the provenance and minerality that many buyers prefer over mass produced imports. Compared to matrix heavy or heavily veined examples, this piece shows a consistent, pleasing tone, and that uniformity paired with its larger carat weight gives it an immediate presence in a setting, whether used as a center stone or a prominent pendant.

From a value standpoint this cabochon is a smart choice versus the common treated alternatives, because untreated turquoise retains market value and patina character over time, while treated material can change or fade and often requires frequent disclosure and caveats. The shape and polish make the gem very versatile for design, as the low profile cabochon sits comfortably for rings, earrings, and cuff pieces, and the dimensions are friendly to standard bezel and prong work without sacrificing visual impact. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize ethically sourced, natural material, and this stone exemplifies that promise, offering buyers a rare combination of natural origin, unenhanced authenticity, substantial carat weight, and a refined finish. If you are comparing options and want a turquoise that reads as genuine in hand, performs well in jewelry, and represents long term value rather than a short term aesthetic, this USA turquoise is a superior choice.
