2.14 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from USA

This pear shaped turquoise cabochon weighs 2.14 carats, with precise dimensions of 10.02 by 7.09 by 4.06 mm, and presents a classical elongated teardrop outline with well centered apex alignment. The cut is a high dome cabochon, executed to balance dome height and table area, producing a clean, uniform surface that maximizes color saturation and surface luster. The material is opaque, exhibiting a vivid blue color intensity with exceptional uniformity across the face, and no visible matrix inclusions or color zoning under standard viewing. Polish quality is excellent, reflecting light evenly from the dome without facet lines or polish pits, which indicates careful lapidary control during final finishing. This specimen is unenhanced, natural turquoise from the USA, and its stability and color strength reflect high quality material that has been selected for its intrinsic chroma rather than treatment. From a gemological perspective, the stone shows good stability in transmission and surface interaction, and its cabochon geometry is optimized for mounting in jewelry that benefits from a clean color field, such as a pendant or solitaire.

For the designer and the discerning buyer, this turquoise is suited to secure bezel setting applications, which protect the lower hardness material and preserve the cabochon profile, while also allowing the vivid blue field to be presented uninterrupted. Prong settings can be used for lighter wear pieces, provided the setting is engineered to support the rounded girdle and apex, and to avoid stress at the narrower tip. The dimensions allow for precise seat machining in custom mounts, and the 4.06 mm depth offers sufficient material to accommodate minor adjustments without risking breakage. At The Natural Gemstone Company we hand inspect each gem for symmetry, polish, and natural integrity prior to shipment, and we can provide additional imagery or measurements on request for setting templates. We recommend routine care that avoids prolonged exposure to acids, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners, and advise gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. For clients who require matching pairs or specific cutting profiles, our lapidary workshop can advise on complementary pieces and bespoke mounting solutions.
