       A cabochon is a flat or rounded generally opaque semiprecious or precious gemstone as opposed to the faceted type, which has facets and is usually a clear semiprecious or precious gemstone.

Many people don't realize how many gemstones simply are vanishing. TURQUOISE, for instance, is practically unavailable except as stablized or just ground up and mixed with plastic. Even Chinese turquoise which rivaled the best Persian for awhile is now mostly green with a broad matrix and pressure plasticized. However, I have recently acquired a small stock of Gem Chinese. Australian OPALS are pretty much gone, mined out. Solid cutting opal is very scarce. The SUGILITE mine in Wessels, South Afica is producing less and less quality sugilite. And this wonderful purple gem is rare except in private stocks. LAPIS LAZULI is becoming very scarce in it's gem form. FINNISH SPECTROLITE, which was recently discovered in Finland after WWII, is getting very expensive and the true gem grade is very scarce. It seems most of it is being blasted out of the mines now and this produces cracks throughout the rough rock. Diamonds may well be the most plentiful gems on the planet!!


      I handcut most of my gems and have quite a good selection of many types of rough rock which I produce my cabochons from. I have had much of this gem material for many years. Lapidary is a highly precise skill and designer cabochons are many times designed on paper before they are cut. You may be sure you are getting the real thing from Laurie Stetzler.
