This natural 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 weighs 𝟏𝟎.𝟒𝟓 𝐜𝐭 and is fashioned in a distinctive 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞-𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐭, combining a warm reddish-orange body colour with attractive translucency and a particularly appealing surface luster.
Measuring approximately 𝟏𝟖.𝟗 × 𝟏𝟑.𝟑 × 𝟓.𝟕 𝐦𝐦, the gemstone presents an individual asymmetric outline rather than a calibrated geometric shape. The rose-cut facet arrangement provides a broad face-up appearance and creates reflective highlights across the surface of the stone.
The gemstone displays an attractive 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡-𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫, characteristic of Carnelian and positioned toward the richer orange-red part of its natural colour range. Subtle variations in saturation and translucency contribute further depth and individuality to the material.
Carnelian is the orange to reddish-orange variety of 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐲, a cryptocrystalline member of the Quartz group. Its characteristic warm coloration is generally associated with finely dispersed iron-bearing compounds within the material.
The stone is 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 and has an 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞. Natural cloudy zones, internal structural variation and inclusions are visible within the gemstone and influence its internal cleanliness.
A 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐝𝐥𝐞 / 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 in association with the included structure of the material. This condition is documented and should be considered during handling or jewellery setting.
The cutting quality is assessed as 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫. While the free-form proportions and facet arrangement are less refined than those of a precisely calibrated stone, the gemstone retains a 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 that produces attractive reflections across its rose-cut surface.
There is 𝐧𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 for this specimen.
With its 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡-𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫, substantial 10.45 ct weight and attractive luster, this natural Carnelian retains strong individual visual character despite its included clarity, fair cutting quality and documented girdle chip.
