A Different Standard for Cabochons

Most serpentinite on the market is:

• Poorly selected with weak color

• Structurally inconsistent

• Dull or unevenly polished

We reverse that process. Each cabochon is selected under a defined gemstone quality system before cutting begins — only the finest 5% qualifies for jewelry use.

This ensures a high-quality cabochon with:

• Rich and consistent color tone

• Balanced internal structure

• Clean and stable material

The result is a cabochon for jewelry making with reliable performance and refined visual quality.

The Gemrock 5% Standard for Serpentinite

Not all serpentinite is suitable for jewelry.

Before cutting, we evaluate:

• Color depth and uniformity

• Internal structure and visual coherence

• Structural integrity

• Surface quality and polish response

Only a small fraction meets these criteria.

About Serpentinite

Serpentinite is a metamorphic rock composed primarily of minerals from the serpentine group.

It is characterized by:

• Deep green coloration

• Subtle veining and internal textures

• Often presence of Pyrite

• A smooth, often slightly waxy appearance when polished

Unlike more visually dominant stones, serpentinite is valued for:

• Its understated elegance

• Its natural, earthy aesthetic

• Its ability to complement rather than dominate a design

Each cabochon shows natural variation in tone and structure.

Durability & Wearability

Serpentinite typically has:

• Moderate hardness

• Good workability for cabochon cutting

• Sufficient stability for jewelry use

This means:

• Suitable for pendants and earrings

• Suitable for rings with proper setting

• More robust than very soft decorative stones

A practical material for both everyday and design-focused jewelry.

Care & Cleaning

Proper care will preserve the appearance of your serpentinite cabochon.

How to care for serpentinite jewelry:

• Avoid strong impact or abrasion

• Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners

• Clean with a soft cloth and mild water

• Avoid harsh chemicals

• Store separately to prevent scratching

Gentle care ensures long-term surface quality.

Natural Material & Authenticity

This is a natural gemstone cabochon, untreated and selected under strict material standards.

Lower-grade serpentinite often shows:

Weak or inconsistent coloration

Poor structural integrity

Dull or poorly polished surfaces

Our selection ensures only material suitable for jewelry use is chosen.
