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.

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.

Designed for Jewelry Makers

This cabochon for jewelry making is selected and finished for professional use:

• Reliable and repeatable quality

• Strong visual identity per stone

• Clean edges for easier setting

What you see is what you get — no hidden fillers, no unpredictable batches.
