Product Description
These pear shaped Howlite cabochons are white with black and grey inclusions giving a lovely marble effect.
Howlite is a mineral found in calcium borate stones. It has a classic marble appearance and each stone is individual due to its black and grey inclusions.
Being a cabochon (often shortened to cab) means it is not faceted, and has a domed front surface and a flat back.
They can't be fired with the clay, as they could crack or discolour if exposed to high temperatures, so need to be set in a bezel. Make your own using fine silver bezel wire, or do it the easy way with a bezel cup. Fix it in place by pushing the sides of the bezel around the stone with a Bezel Pusher.
This is a natural stone, so it can contain inclusions, and the colour and the exact size and height might vary from stone to stone. If you are planning to set as a pair, or need matching stones for any reason, please write us a little note and we will try to pick matching stones (as close as possible). The cabs have a size tolerance of about 0.15-0.30mm (this is how much they can vary from stone to stone).
Dimensions: 25mm x 18mm x 7mm.
