A Different Standard for Cabochons
Most cabochons on the market are cut from mixed-grade material. We reverse that process. Each Lizardite is selected under a defined gemstone quality system before cutting begins — only the finest 5 % qualify for jewelry use.
This ensures a high-quality cabochon with:
Strong and balanced color contrast
Clean and stable structure
Visually appealing pattern distribution
The result is a cabochon for jewelry making that performs reliably in professional design work.
The Gemrock 5% Standard™
Not all Lizardite material is suitable for jewelry. Before cutting, we evaluate each piece based on:
Color intensity and contrast
Pattern clarity and visual balance
Structural stability
Surface quality
Only a small fraction meets these criteria.

Dome shape and symmetry
Edge precision for a secure setting
Surface polish to enhance pattern visibility
No uneven domes. No dull finishes. No mass-production shortcuts.
About Lizardite
Lizardite is a natural mineral belonging to the serpentine group and is valued for its distinctive green coloration combined with black and white patterning. Its name originates from the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, England, where this mineral was first identified. In jewelry use, Lizardite is appreciated for:
Its earthy, natural color palette
Its unique, often highly varied patterns
Its strong visual presence compared to more uniform stones
Each cabochon is unique, with no two stones showing the same pattern.
Durability & Wearability
Lizardite typically has a hardness of approximately 3–5 on the Mohs scale, depending on composition.
This means:
It is softer than many traditional gemstones
It should be protected from strong impact or abrasion
Careful setting design is recommended
Best suited for pendants, earrings, and protected ring designs.
Care & Cleaning
Proper care will preserve the appearance of your lizardite cabochon over time. How to care for Lizardite jewelry:
Avoid impact and hard contact
Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners
Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild water
Avoid chemicals and harsh cleaning agents
Store separately to prevent scratches
Due to its softer nature, protective settings are recommended for long-term wear.
Natural Material & Authenticity
This is a natural gemstone cabochon, untreated and selected under strict material standards. Lower-grade material often shows:
Weak or muddy color contrast
Poor structural stability
Unbalanced or visually chaotic patterns
Our selection process ensures only material suitable for jewelry is used.
