This beautiful round, rich apple-green semi-transparent, serpentine cabochon is cut from high-grade rough sourced from the Hopedale region of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The material was originally found by local prospector Edmund Saunders and is commonly used by locals in the area for carving. The cabochon weighs 9.35 CT and measures 15.05 x 5.50 mm.
The hardness of this cabochon is around 5 to 5.5, making it harder than most serpentine and more suitable for jewellery use.
