21.21 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from Persia(Iran)

One exquisite piece that I am proud to present from The Natural Gemstone Company is a single, natural Persian turquoise that embodies the classic charm of old world mines, it is an opaque greenish blue turquoise weighing 21.21 carat, presented in a perfectly round shape with generous dimensions of 16.82 x 17.15 x 10.90 mm, the stone has been fashioned as a smooth cabochon, the medium color intensity delivers a lively yet wearable tone that sits beautifully between bright blue and gentle teal, the surface reflects an excellent polish that gives a soft, satiny sheen while preserving the depth of color, there is no enhancement, the stone is completely natural and untreated, the Persian origin is an important hallmark for collectors and designers who appreciate provenance and classic turquoise character.

As a gemologist and salesperson I focus first on what makes this turquoise special, the weight and size make this cabochon exceptionally versatile for high impact jewelry, it has presence enough to command a pendant or statement ring, the round silhouette and uniform dome lift easily into classic bezel settings or contemporary open designs, the medium color intensity pairs exquisitely with sterling silver to evoke southwestern elegance, and with warm yellow gold to produce a luminous contrast that highlights the greenish blue hue, collectors will value the untreated status, because natural color and texture are preserved, each facet of this piece speaks to authenticity, the excellent polish enhances wearability and comfort, while the opaque matrix free appearance offers a serene, cloud like surface that reads as a pure field of color in photographs and at the bench.

For care and use, Persian turquoise is treasured for its historic appeal, please treat this stone with gentle handling, turquoise typically registers around five to six on the Mohs scale, it is durable for many types of jewelry when set thoughtfully, however avoid prolonged exposure to cosmetics, perfumes, household chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners, clean with a soft damp cloth and mild soap if needed, store separately from harder stones to prevent scratches, if you plan on mounting this cabochon in a ring that will see frequent wear consider protective bezel settings or a low profile mount to reduce risk of knocks, designers often set a stone of this size as a central element in a pendant with a simple surround to let the color sing, or as the focal point in a custom signet style ring, the smooth dome and lack of enhancement mean the hue you see is the hue you get, it will age naturally over time, developing a personal patina based on wear and care.
