2.75 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from Persia(Iran)

There is a timeless quality to a fine turquoise that speaks to centuries of craftsmanship and quiet ceremony, and this 2.75 carat oval blue turquoise from Persia Iran is a perfect example. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this gem is an opaque cabochon with dimensions of 10.14 x 8.08 x 4.75 mm, an intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. From its gentle dome to its even saturation of blue, it presents a steady and comforting presence, the kind of stone that feels as though it could have been admired by hands across many generations. For collectors and designers who cherish continuity and provenance, a Persian turquoise carries a lineage that dates back to ancient mines and royal treasuries, and owning such a gem is a way to connect to a long, storied tradition.

The history of Persian turquoise reads like a map of human admiration for natural beauty, a narrative in which mines yielded stones favored by empires and artisans alike. Persia was renowned in antiquity for producing turquoise of luminous blue hues, stones that were used to embellish crowns, talismans, and architectural ornamentation. The blue of Persian turquoise has often been described in literature and trade accounts as a pure expression of sky and lapis combined, a clarity without the webbing or matrix common in many other sources. The absence of enhancement in this particular stone underscores its authenticity and integrity, qualities that we at The Natural Gemstone Company celebrate and preserve. When a gem arrives to us untouched by treatments, it carries with it a story written in mineral form, a record of geological time and careful human selection.

In practical terms this oval cabochon offers both presence and versatility for jewelry design. At 10.14 x 8.08 x 4.75 mm and 2.75 carat, it sits comfortably as a focal stone for a ring, a refined pendant, or a set of matched studs, while the cabochon cut allows light to play across the curve, enhancing the rich, saturated blue without distraction. The excellent polish provides a soft, reflective luster, a surface that invites touch yet resists the glare of overworked faceting, making it ideal for classic, heirloom pieces that are meant to be worn across decades. Designers who favor bezel settings will find this stone particularly suited to traditional metalwork, as the surrounding metal can frame the color and protect the softer material of the turquoise. For collectors, the opaque character of the stone guarantees a solid field of color that reads beautifully in photographs and in hand, retaining its visual depth even under varied lighting conditions.

We invite you to imagine this Persian turquoise set into a piece that will become part of your own legacy, a keepsake to be passed down and admired by future generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in presenting gems that are honest in origin and quality, and this stone, with no enhancement and clear provenance from Persia Iran, exemplifies that commitment. If you would like guidance on settings, custom design options, or certification details, I am here to assist and to share the knowledge drawn from years of handling and studying fine turquoise. A gemstone such as this is more than a commodity, it is a living link to ancient artisans and enduring aesthetics, a small and luminous piece of history ready to be worn into a new chapter.
