This natural 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧 weighs 𝟐.𝟔𝟕 𝐜𝐭 and is fashioned in an elegant 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐭, combining warm brownish reddish-orange colour with the naturally translucent character of Chalcedony.

Measuring approximately 𝟏𝟏.𝟐 × 𝟏𝟎.𝟏 × 𝟒.𝟏 𝐦𝐦, the gemstone presents a broad pear-shaped outline with a relatively shallow profile. The rose-cut facet arrangement creates multiple surface reflections while allowing the warm body colour and natural internal structure to remain visually prominent.

The gemstone displays a distinctive 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 colour, positioned toward the deeper and earthier end of the natural Carnelian colour range. Subtle variations in saturation and translucency may be visible throughout the stone and contribute to its individual appearance.

Carnelian is the orange to reddish-orange variety of 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐲, a cryptocrystalline member of the Quartz group. Its characteristic coloration is generally associated with finely dispersed iron-bearing compounds within the material.

The gemstone is 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 and shows an included clarity profile comparable to 𝐈𝟑. Natural cloudy areas, fine inclusions, structural variation and internal colour zoning are visible and influence internal cleanliness, but remain consistent with natural Chalcedony.

A 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐝𝐥𝐞. This characteristic is clearly documented and should be considered during handling or jewellery setting, as the girdle is a structurally important part of the stone.

There is 𝐧𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 for this specimen.

With its 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡-𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐫, distinctive pear-shaped rose cut and natural translucent structure, this 2.67 ct Carnelian offers strong individual character. The girdle chip is fully documented as part of the gemstone’s present condition.

Evaluation Notes

This natural Carnelian presents a fair overall quality profile, with its warm brownish reddish-orange colour and distinctive pear-shaped rose cut remaining the principal visual strengths.

The gemstone shows an I3 clarity profile, with natural cloudy zones, inclusions and internal structural variation that noticeably reduce internal cleanliness. The girdle chip is an additional structural limitation and should be taken into account during handling or jewellery setting.

The combination of attractive colour and individual cutting style is offset by the strong inclusion level and girdle damage, supporting an overall 63/100 assessment.
