Cabochons

Def. Cabochon: a gem rounded and highly polished usually with a flat back.

Alaskan Cabochons

The cabochons have been handcrafted from stones that I collected from the Matanuska River and its tributaries with the source in the Talkeetna Mountains. I'll note the general location of the stone if collected elsewhere. 

Though I do my best to identify individual stones often consulting geologists and more experienced rockhounds, I am still learning how to identify local rocks and minerals. I can provide and approximation of hardness. The cabs that are listed as jasper, quartz or agate cannot be scratched by a steel blade.

All Alaskan cabochons are priced at $25. If you'd like to purchase 5 or more Alaskan Cabs prices are reduced to $20/cab.
