Indonesian material is well regarded for the clarity of its patterning and the contrast between its dark and light zones, which gives designers strong graphic content to work with in a cabochon. As a silicified organic material it works similarly to other chalcedony-family stones in terms of workability, but the pattern is directional, so orientation during setting is worth considering to make the most of the eye effect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gem Enthusiast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47854352597179,"sku":"PRA108","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/8214\/1627\/files\/fossilized-palm-root-cabochon-round-palm-root-eye-27x27mm-236ct-indonesia-pra108-4218599.jpg?v=1779359350","url":"https:\/\/gementhusiast.shop\/products\/fossilized-palm-root-cabochon-round-73736","provider":"Gem Enthusiast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
