2.73 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from Persia(Iran)

Presenting a beautiful natural Persian turquoise offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, a single opaque 2.73 carat oval cabochon, with dimensions 10.02 x 8.05 x 4.98 mm. This gem displays a medium intense blue color, evenly distributed across the dome shaped surface, with excellent polish that creates a soft luminous sheen. There are no enhancements, the stone is completely natural, and its origin is Persia, a source historically prized for top quality turquoise. The cabochon cut highlights the color and body tone, creating a pleasing, tactile form that is perfect for classic and contemporary jewelry alike, and the oval proportions make it versatile for many setting styles.

The visual appeal of this turquoise comes from its balanced medium intense blue, a hue that sits between the pastel robin egg and the deeper sky blue, offering lively color without overpowering the design. The opaque body and uniform color make the gem ideal for single stone settings where a smooth, uninterrupted surface is desired, and the excellent polish enhances its reflective surface, producing gentle highlights. The oval shape with slightly domed cabochon allows light to skim across the surface, emphasizing the gem s inherent calm and warmth. With measurements of 10.02 x 8.05 x 4.98 mm, it is sized to fit comfortably in a solitaire ring, a refined pendant, or a pair of matched accents, and its 2.73 carat weight gives it presence without bulk.

Persian turquoise has a long pedigree, valued for centuries for its saturated blues and cultural significance, and this example is a fine representation, coming from a region known for producing stones of desirable color and character. The fact that this turquoise has not been stabilized or enhanced increases its appeal to collectors and connoisseurs who prefer natural untreated gems, and it demonstrates that beauty can be found in material that has been preserved in its original state. For designers and private buyers this natural state requires some consideration in wear and setting, because untreated turquoise can be more sensitive to chemicals and abrasion than harder gemstones, so choosing protective settings and avoiding exposure to harsh cleaners will help preserve the surface and polish.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we recommend classic bezel or halo settings for this cabochon to protect the edges and secure the stone, while open backed pendants or rings with a protective bezel will allow the color to be admired without compromising durability. Pairing this piece with warm yellow gold will emphasize the turquoise s warm blue tones, while cool white metals will create a modern contrast that highlights the clean polish and shape. This turquoise is ideal for bespoke commissions, collector cases, and refined jewelry lines where provenance and authenticity matter, and we stand behind the natural origin and untreated condition with our assurance of accurate description.
