A "cabochon" is described as a gemstone that is not faceted, but is cut into a convex and usually highly polished shape. The shape may be symmetrical, calibrated or freeform. Some people refer to these as "semi-precious", but that is a misnomer as some of these materials are rarer and more valuable than diamonds and rubies! Some people collect cabochons and metaphysical healers use them in their rituals, but they are most often used by jewelers and wirewrappers, to be set in beautiful and unique pieces of jewelry. Please be aware that cabochons are normally small in size-the measurements are in millimeters (there are about 25 mm to an inch)! Also all measurements are approximates and pictures shown are not actual sizes!!
