5.4 ct, Natural Turquoise Golden Hills cabochon

Description“Golden Hills” Turquoise from Kazakhstan has gained popularity relatively recently, yet demand for it has surged rapidly. The challenge, however, lies in the fact that material of this caliber is extremely rare. Stones possessing such color and purity are snapped up instantly.I noticed this particular specimen immediately – even while it was still being cut.At first glance, it appears simple; yet, once polished, its color reveals itself in all its glory: the distinct layers, the subtle transitions of shade, and that soft inner glow that seems to breathe life into the stone. A natural vein of the host rock (matrix) also runs through the stone; far from being a distraction, it serves as a compelling reminder that what lies before you is an authentic, untouched gift from the earth itself.I shaped the stone into a classic oval form to ensure that all attention remains focused squarely on its color.The surface reveals a smooth, well-polished finish with a soft, glossy luster that enhances the stone’s calming color and natural elegance. Under light, the cabochon shows a gentle glow, emphasizing its clean structure and high-quality material. The balance between color purity and natural inclusions makes this piece both visually appealing and authentic.The stone is 100% natural and untreated, not stabilized, not enhanced. This is increasingly rare, especially for turquoise with such clean and vivid color.Treatment: None (100% natural)Origin: Golden Hill deposit, Kazakhstan Size: 13.6 x 11 x 4.5 mm / 0.53 x 0.43 x 0.17 inch Weight: 5.4 ct• Soft sky-blue color with natural, cloud-like patterning • Subtle matrix inclusions adding uniqueness and character • Smooth, high-quality polish with a pleasant glossy finishVideo: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXcr6ucEteQ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Please read: Every cabochon or polished slab you see in this shop is made by me personally, with special attention given to each one.
