3.57 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from Persia(Iran)

Introducing a beautiful opaque 3.57 carat oval shape blue turquoise from Persia Iran offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. This gem measures 11.08 by 9.12 by 4.32 mm, and it has been cut into a classic cabochon shape to showcase the depth and evenness of its color. The surface presents an excellent polish, creating a smooth, glass like finish that highlights the intense color intensity of the material. Because this turquoise is untreated, with no enhancement, you are acquiring a natural specimen that displays the authentic hue and texture prized by collectors and designers alike. The oval outline and moderate dome height give the piece versatile proportions, making it equally suitable for elegant solitaire settings or for more elaborate multi stone compositions.

The color of this turquoise is best described as a vivid, saturated Persian blue, a tone that has long been associated with the high quality materials from Iran. Under direct light the stone shows a consistent, lively blue with subtle variations that add character without distracting matrix or patchiness. The cabochon cut enhances the color saturation, while the excellent polish generates attractive reflections that make the surface appear almost liquid, adding visual depth to the stone. For connoisseurs of natural turquoise, the lack of stabilization or dyeing is particularly desirable, because it preserves the inherent mineral texture and color response to light and to the warmth of the wearer. With this piece you receive the kind of natural beauty that is rare to find at this size and quality, a compact yet striking example of classic Persian turquoise.

From a design perspective this 11.08 by 9.12 by 4.32 mm oval cabochon is wonderfully adaptable, it will make a striking centerpiece for a ring, set into a custom pendant, or used as a focal stone in a pair of drop earrings. For rings, a bezel setting pairs especially well with turquoise, offering secure protection for the relatively soft surface while framing the color to read even stronger against polished metal. Sterling silver will emphasize the cool, vivid blue and give a traditional southwestern aesthetic, while 14k or 18k yellow gold will create a luxurious contrast that warms the tone for more classic or vintage inspired jewelry. If you prefer a contemporary look, a thin high polished bezel in white gold or platinum will maintain a sleek profile and direct attention to the stone itself. Because the cabochon profile has a comfortable dome and moderate thickness, it sits well in both low profile and elevated settings, and its 3.57 carat weight provides presence without overwhelming smaller hands or delicate chains.

Caring for your natural turquoise from The Natural Gemstone Company is straightforward, and with proper attention your stone will remain beautiful for generations. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or solvents, because untreated turquoise can be sensitive to oils and acids, keep the stone away from ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaning, and clean gently with a soft damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. When storing, wrap the turquoise separately to avoid scratches from harder gems or metals, and consider having settings checked periodically to ensure the cabochon remains secure. As a natural, untreated stone originating in Persia Iran, this turquoise carries both cultural history and gemological value, it is ideal for collectors who value authenticity, designers seeking a genuinely natural color source, and gift givers who want to present something rare and meaningful.
