4.98 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from USA

This listing describes one natural turquoise, weight 4.98 carat, pear shape, cabochon cut, with overall dimensions 15.54 by 10.03 by 5.42 mm. The stone presents an opaque body with a greenish blue hue of medium light color intensity, and an excellent polish that produces a smooth, even surface and a subtle satiny luster. No enhancement has been applied, and the origin is USA, attributes that are significant for collectors and designers seeking untreated American turquoise. The symmetry of the pear outline is suitable for straightforward mounting, and the moderate thickness and dome profile offer stable seat for bezel settings while remaining comfortable for pendants and larger ring designs.

The appearance and material properties of this turquoise favor jewelry applications where gentle handling is appropriate, such as pendant center stones, bezel set rings, and custom earrings with protective settings. Because the gem is opaque and finely polished, it pairs well with both warm and cool metals, for example yellow gold and white gold, allowing designers to emphasize either the green undertone or the blue tone. From a care standpoint, avoid prolonged exposure to solvents, oils, and household chemicals, and do not use steam or high temperature cleaning methods, ultrasonic cleaners are not recommended. Light soapy water and a soft cloth are the preferred cleaning method, and routine inspections of the mounting will help preserve the stone and setting. The Natural Gemstone Company confirms the descriptive details provided above, and stands behind the accuracy of the weight, dimensions, cut, polish, enhancement disclosure, and origin for this turquoise specimen.
