2.22 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from Persia(Iran)

One beautiful opaque 2.22 carat oval shape blue turquoise is available from The Natural Gemstone Company, this gem measures 9.71 x 7.89 x 4.28 millimeters, it is expertly shaped into a classic cabochon cut, the surface shows an excellent polish that reflects light evenly across its dome, the color intensity is vivid and consistent, with a pure robin egg blue that commands attention. The stone is from Persia, Iran, a region celebrated for producing some of the most desirable and historically important turquoise, the material is natural and unenhanced, there has been no stabilization, no dyeing, and no resin treatment, you will be receiving a truly natural specimen with the original texture and color that formed over geologic time. As a salesperson for The Natural Gemstone Company, I emphasize that this gem is a rare combination of ideal size and exceptional color, the 2.22 carat weight sits comfortably in a range that is highly useful for ring or pendant applications, and the oval outline near ten by eight millimeters is a versatile proportion that fits many classic and modern settings.

Visually this cabochon has an intense even blue, the tone is bright without being neon, and the saturation reads as deep and lively in daylight and under indoor lighting, the high polish gives the gem a smooth tactile feel and an attractive shine, you can see a faint natural vein crossing the surface which adds character and confirms the natural origins of the stone, this subtle line does not interfere with the clean color field, instead it becomes a signature feature that jewelers and collectors often prize. The dome height of 4.28 millimeters creates a pleasing three dimensional presence, a cabochon of this height shows the color depth beautifully when set in bezel or halo designs, it will read as substantial on the finger without overpowering the overall design, the oval form also allows for elegant orientation in vertical or horizontal settings, and its balance makes it simple to center in custom bezels or handcrafted settings.

From a gemological and cultural perspective, Persian turquoise holds a special place, historically prized for its sky blue shades and stable color, this specimen carries that legacy, the lack of enhancement is particularly important for buyers who value authenticity and long term stability, untreated turquoise can be more sensitive than stabilized material, however the natural polish and density of this cabochon suggest a well formed piece that will perform reliably in fine jewelry with basic care. For design professionals and hobbyist jewelers, this turquoise pairs wonderfully with warm metals such as yellow gold to enhance its classic appeal, it also contrasts beautifully with white metals for a modern aesthetic, consider surrounding it with small accent diamonds or sapphires to create a refined contrast, the smooth dome is ideal for traditional bezel work, as the bezel will protect the stone and showcase its uninterrupted color field.
