This exquisite natural turquoise from The Natural Gemstone Company is a remarkable specimen for collectors and designers alike, it is a one of a kind opaque cabochon weighing 16.68 carats, the round shape presents beautifully with generous proportions measuring 17.82 by 17.81 by 8.43 millimeters, the stone displays a medium intense blue color that reads as a classic Persian turquoise tone, the surface has been expertly shaped into a smooth cabochon and finished to an excellent polish that highlights the stone color and subtle internal texture, importantly this turquoise is natural and untreated, there has been no enhancement, and its origin is Persia, Iran, a source known for some of the most sought after historical turquoise in the world.
The even, medium intense blue of this cabochon is very wearable, and the rounded domed profile creates a soft, luminous play of light across the face of the gem, the color is vivid without being overpowering which gives it versatility in jewelry design, it will sit elegantly in a bezel to show off the smooth dome, it will also make a striking center for a cocktail ring, a bold pendant, or a classic pair of stud settings for a larger, singular look, Persian turquoise is prized for its stable, pleasing blues and this piece carries that legacy with a clean, appealing surface and a depth of color that reads equally well under warm or cool lighting.
From a practical perspective turquoise is softer than many gemstones, it is best treated with gentle care to preserve the polish and color, avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, and impact, cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water followed by immediate drying will keep the surface looking its best, when designing settings please consider protective bezels or recessed mounts to guard against knocks, The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the authenticity of this stone, we source responsibly, we photograph and measure each gem precisely, and we can advise on matching pieces, custom settings, and appropriate mounting options to ensure the turquoise is showcased and protected, if you are interested in a mounting recommendation, a custom design, or additional images and viewing angles, please contact us and we will provide expert guidance to help this lovely Persian turquoise become a centerpiece in your collection.
