Full item description Hand-polished vesuvianite (also called idocrase) cabochon, shaped and finished by me. This is a clean, natural stone with strong color and a smooth dome, made for jewelry work. The face is brought up to a bright polish, and the edges are even, so it sits well in a wire wrap or bezel.
