8.75 Ct. Cabochon Turquoise from USA

Here at The Natural Gemstone Company we are pleased to present a beautiful, opaque greenish blue turquoise, weighing 8.75 carats, with an elegant oval shape and precise dimensions of 14.61 x 11.71 x 6.53 mm, cut in a classic cabochon style, showing a medium intense color, and finished with an excellent polish. This piece is completely natural, with no enhancement, and its origin is the USA, which is known for producing turquoise with strong color character and stable matrix qualities. The cabochon cut emphasizes the stone body color and creates a soft domed surface that catches light in a refined way, adding depth and presence without the need for treatments. For customers who value authenticity and provenance, this turquoise offers the confidence of a straight from nature gem, and it presents a refined, wearable size that translates easily into rings, pendants, and bespoke designs.

When comparing this turquoise to others commonly found in the market, several advantages stand out. Many commercial turquoise pieces are stabilized, dyed, or even reconstituted to achieve uniform color and durability, yet those processes change the gem character and often lower long term value. In contrast, this 8.75 carat example from the USA retains its natural structure and visual integrity, which collectors and discerning designers consistently prefer. The medium intense greenish blue tone is attractive because it is vivid enough to command attention, while still retaining a soft, natural appearance that pairs well with a range of metals and design aesthetics. The excellent polish enhances the stone surface, resulting in a sleek, glossy finish that competes with treated stones, while remaining entirely untreated, making it a rarer find at this size and quality.

From a value perspective, this turquoise offers a superior balance between size, color, and natural condition. Stones of similar color and polish that are either smaller in carat weight, heavily treated, or lacking documented origin often carry a lower quality perception despite sometimes higher asking prices because buyers take on hidden risks. With this cabochon, there is transparency, from the no enhancement declaration to the precise measurements of 14.61 x 11.71 x 6.53 mm, allowing jewelers and collectors to make accurate design and investment decisions. The oval shape is versatile, providing a classic footprint that is secure in many setting styles, and the 8.75 carat weight offers a substantial look without overwhelming. For designers seeking a natural focal stone that reads as high quality, this turquoise competes strongly against mass market alternatives, and it represents a thoughtful choice for those who want authenticity with visual appeal.

Choosing a gemstone is as much about emotion as it is about technical detail, and in that balance this turquoise excels. It offers the tactile pleasure of a well polished cabochon, the aesthetic appeal of a medium intense greenish blue hue, and the assurance of being untouched by enhancement, all backed by the reputation and sourcing standards of The Natural Gemstone Company. Whether you are creating a signature ring, a statement pendant, or a matched pair for a refined set, this stone will integrate with considered design choices and long term enjoyment. If you prefer a consultation on how this turquoise will perform in a specific setting, or if you would like additional images and mounting recommendations, our team is available to guide you through the selection and design process, ensuring that this natural treasure becomes a lasting highlight in your collection.
