This listing describes a single natural Persian turquoise, weighing 9.02 carats, presented as an opaque oval cabochon with dimensions of 14.37 x 11.91 x 7.27 mm. The stone displays a bluish green hue with a medium intense color intensity, and an excellent polish that produces an even reflective surface across the dome. The cabochon cut emphasizes the stone surface and color uniformity, and the piece is offered with no enhancement, confirming the natural state of the material. Origin is Persia Iran, a source historically prized for its stable blue to bluish green turquoise, and this specimen exhibits the clear tonal character associated with that provenance. The weight and oval proportions make this gem well suited to a single center setting where the color and profile can be showcased, and the overall finish reflects careful lapidary work consistent with the standards of The Natural Gemstone Company.
From a practical perspective the 9.02 carat size and the 14.37 x 11.91 mm footprint are appropriate for ring, pendant, or brooch designs that favor a prominent, yet wearable, centerpiece. The cabochon profile and excellent polish will complement bezel or low prong settings that protect the stone edge while allowing the color to read consistently from multiple viewing angles. Because the turquoise is natural and unenhanced, routine care should be conservative, avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals, prolonged water immersion, and ultrasonic cleaners, and cleaning is best accomplished with a soft, dry or lightly dampened cloth. Photographs show a smooth, even surface with minor natural character that is typical of untreated turquoise, and these attributes will respond well to careful design and mounting choices. For clients seeking provenance, color consistency, and the authenticity of an unenhanced Persian turquoise, this cabochon represents a high quality option, and further details about sourcing and matching for paired designs are available on request from The Natural Gemstone Company.
