2.75 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from Persia(Iran)

Introducing a truly exceptional natural gem from The Natural Gemstone Company, this beautiful opaque blue turquoise is a superb example of classic Persian material, originating from Persia, Iran. The stone weighs 2.75 carat, and its oval outline measures 10.14 x 8.08 x 4.75 mm, making it a highly wearable size for a variety of jewelry designs. It has been expertly fashioned into a smooth cabochon cut, showcasing an intentionally domed profile that enhances the gem's saturated color and surface luster. The color intensity is remarkable, presenting a vivid and even blue that reads as intense in both direct and diffused light, and the polish is excellent, reflecting light with a soft, satiny glow. Importantly, this turquoise is natural with no enhancement, so the hue, texture, and overall beauty are entirely intrinsic to the material, and not the result of dyeing, stabilization, or other treatments.

Visually the piece offers a pure, almost sky blue tone that leans toward the classic Persian turquoise palette, a color that has been prized for centuries for its clarity of blue and minimal matrix. This cabochon displays a fine, uniform color distribution across the entire surface, and because it is opaque, you receive a vivid, consistent appearance without the distraction of internal translucency. The excellent polish accentuates the smooth dome and provides gentle reflections that underscore the stone's depth of color, while the absence of visible matrix or strong veining yields a clean, modern aesthetic. For collectors and designers who seek a turquoise with intense color, consistent surface quality, and a serene, wearable size, this 2.75 carat oval cabochon represents a rare combination of attributes, and it photographs exceptionally well for use in bespoke pieces.

The Persian origin of this turquoise adds a layer of historical and cultural significance that resonates strongly with connoisseurs. Turquoise from Persia, Iran, has been celebrated for millennia and is often associated with the archetypal sky blue that has inspired jewelry traditions across the Middle East and the West. Stones from this region are typically admired for their pure color and fine texture, and collectors value their provenance as much as their appearance. Because this cabochon is natural, untreated, and sourced from Persia, Iran, it carries that lineage of quality and authenticity. For those who appreciate gems with a story, this turquoise offers not just visual appeal, but a connection to a storied gemstone heritage that enhances the emotional and aesthetic value of any finished piece.

From a practical perspective, turquoise is a porous gem with a Mohs hardness of roughly five to six, and this specimen is best enjoyed in settings that protect its surface while showcasing its color. Bezel settings, halo designs with a protective rim, or pendants that keep the stone close to the body are excellent choices, as they reduce the likelihood of abrasion and shield the cabochon from direct knocks. Because this turquoise is untreated, avoid prolonged exposure to household chemicals, cosmetics, and perfumes, and do not use ultrasonic cleaners or harsh steam cleaning, as these can compromise the surface or introduce unwanted solvents. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, rinse carefully, and dry immediately. The size and weight make it well suited for a statement ring, a refined pendant, or a pair of matching earrings if you are combining it with complementary stones.
