PERSIAN TURQUOISE with PYRITE - Lot of 5 - 15 mm / 22 carats - 25442

PERSIAN TURQUOISE with PYRITE - Lot of 5 - 15 mm / 22 carats

This is a very good lot of five Persian turquoise cabs with excellent blue color, luster and striking inclusions of bright metallic pyrite. They would look great in a silver cuff bracelet or pendant.

This turquoise was stabilized without color enhancement (clear shot). The cabochons are all turquoise without backing. The stones are not calibrated, but their differences in dimension are minor. They were cut in the middle east with the backs being tall and angled. Some dopping material remains attached to the backs.

An excellent lot for a jeweler who has the lapidary ability to reshape or lower the backs.

The buyer will receive the five cabochons seen in the photos.
