A cabochon, or "cab", is a gemstone that has been shaped and polished for jewelry settings. The term derives from the French word “caboche,” meaning head or noggin. Cabochon gemstones typically feature a smooth, domed surface and a flat base.
The most common shapes are ovals and ellipses, although other geometric and freeform shapes are also created. Cabochons are usually cut to feature the most beautiful part of a stone. They are carved to show off asterisms in a gemstone, iridescence, chatoyancy, and other special patterns.
The flattened back makes a cabochon an ideal component for jewelry making. Crystal cabochons are popularly used for making pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces, cufflinks, and other jewelry pieces.
In terms of crystal healing, you can also use these stones as-is. They provide you with ample energy, whether worn in jewelry form or used as a healing stone. They are small and portable to travel with you anywhere you go.
