12.36 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from Persia(Iran)

A single treasure defines a rare moment, and this 12.36 carat Persian turquoise is such a moment, offered with care by The Natural Gemstone Company. This stone is an oval shape, with dimensions of 16.20 x 12.12 x 8.52 mm, and it presents as a true cabochon cut, a classic silhouette that highlights the gem s natural face and depth. The turquoise reads as opaque, with a medium color intensity that captures a serene blue tone across its dome. There has been no enhancement, and the polish is excellent, allowing a soft, luminous reflection across its surface. For collectors and connoisseurs alike, the combination of substantial carat weight, dignified dimensions, and untouched origin makes this piece immediately notable, a gem for which provenance and integrity are equally important.

The color is what first draws the eye, a clear, calm blue that sits between sky and sea, and the medium intensity gives the stone presence without overwhelming versatility. Because of the cabochon cut, the color distributes evenly, and the excellent polish creates a satiny glow that reads as both elegant and organic. The opaque body ensures that the color is bold and consistent, ideal for a statement piece that still retains an understated refinement. This turquoise will work with a range of metals and design languages, from warm yellow gold that emphasizes a vintage sensibility, to cool platinum or white gold that lends modern purity. Imagine this oval set in a custom bezel, or presented as the central stone in a multi stone composition, each approach converting the gem s innate serenity into a wearable work of art.

The origin of this turquoise is Persia, Iran, and that provenance is a crucial part of what makes the piece exceptional. Persian turquoise has been revered for centuries, and an untreated specimen of this quality is increasingly rare in the contemporary market. To possess a natural, unenhanced turquoise from Persia is to hold a link to a storied geological heritage, a rarity that appeals to specialists who prize authenticity over artificial augmentation. For collectors who value history and natural character, this 12.36 carat stone offers both. The precise measurements of 16.20 x 12.12 x 8.52 mm inform jewelers and designers about scale and proportion, and the cabochon profile provides an ideal canvas for bespoke settings crafted to emphasize the gem s polished serenity. Because the gem has not been subject to stabilization or dyeing, its market rarity and long term value are preserved, making it suitable for those who seek both aesthetic pleasure and investment quality.
