Product Description
Rose-cut gemstones are gems with flat bottoms and domed checkerboard or faceted crowns. Many black gemstones, such as black spinel and black tourmaline are given a rose cut, to show off their luster. Also, some opaque gems, such as lapis lazuli and sapphire are rose cut. A favorite of yesteryear, this rose-cut cabochon features a flat base (no pavilion) and a crown made up of triangular facets symmetrically arranged in a circle and rising to form a point at the top of the stone.
