Pinolith Cabochon

For those who love a black-and-white palette, or a fine, intricate matrix - or better yet, both - this stone is hard to resist! White magnesite crystals are surrounded by a shimmery, fine-lined, grey and black matrix of dolomite and graphite in this starkly dramatic material. A very special stone that comes from only a few small deposits in Styria, Austria and Spain. Cut in a freeform variation of the classic Reuleaux shape, this cab features an exquisitely intricate matrix.
