Cabochon or Faceted?
Two cuts, two personalities. A practical comparison for makers choosing the right finish.
Indonesian stones carry the memory of their landscape. In this guide we walk through the practical details — how to read colour, pattern, and finish — so you can choose with confidence.
What to look for
- Colour saturation — natural stones shift with the light. Look for depth, not just brightness.
- Pattern — banding, moss, and plume are signatures of origin and formation.
- Finish — a good polish reveals clarity without flattening character.
