Cabochons have a special appeal despite not necessarily being the most popular emerald variety. When carved into cabochons, gem material exhibits exceptionally high colour purity with no extinction but is rarely clear. Color has a significant impact on the appeal of gemstones like emeralds, therefore gem cutters have access to this exquisite form. Despite the fact that their possibility for variation is less than that of faceted or cut stones, there are a few fundamental styles to be aware of.
This Zambian Fine Quality Astrological Emerald Cabochon is brilliant green. These oval emerald cabochons were found in zambian mines. A domed top distinguishes a traditional cabochon cut. Although emerald cabochons' bottoms are typically curved, this isn't always the case as it can sometimes occasionally be flat. The bottom may occasionally also be flat or may occasionally curve similarly to the top, depending on how each gem functions. To be more gentle on internal cracks in the emerald while cutting and polishing is the main reason an emerald is cut into a cabochon.
