Mood Cabochons 16mm round x1

Natural leopardskin jasper

Abalone is one of the ocean's most radiant gems. Paua is a particularly stunning species of Abalone (Haliotis iris) found along the coast of New Zealand. Abalone shells are dark and dull on the outer surface, but the inside nacre displays a miraculous play of light and color. The hypnotically undulating colors within the shell exhibit an iridescent shimmer comparable to opal. These Abalone shell glue-on cabochons are dyed and coated in a protective lacquer that also enhances the sheen of the cabochon.

Color-changing cabochons make a fun statement with a retro vibe. Reminiscent of styles from the '60s and '70s, color-changing cabochons change according to body temperature and environment. Lightweight acrylic cabochons are not calibrated.
