These artistic Picasso Jasper cabochons are expertly cut and polished into smooth, elegant domes that showcase the stone’s signature "painted" look. Available in two versatile sizes:
Large 10mm and a Small 8mm diameter, both with a consistent 4mm height—these stones feature a striking mosaic of earthy greys, deep blacks, and warm browns. The intersecting lines and mottled patterns resemble an abstract charcoal sketch, ensuring that no two cabochons are exactly alike.
Thanks to its moody, sophisticated palette, Picasso Jasper is a favorite for designers looking to create "wearable art." These rounds are perfectly suited for bold statement rings, matching earring sets, or minimalist bezel-set pendants.
Key Properties & Care
Picasso Jasper is a metamorphic limestone with a beautiful, fine-grained texture. While durable, it requires mindful handling to preserve its unique patterns and polished surface:
Mohs Hardness: Picasso Jasper typically ranges from 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale. It is sturdy enough for daily wear but should be treated with more care than a standard sapphire or diamond.
Cleaning: Use lukewarm water and a soft, lint-free cloth. If necessary, a very mild soap may be used. Ensure the stone is rinsed well and dried completely.
Maintenance:
Avoid Chemicals: Protect the stone from hairspray, perfumes, and harsh household cleaners, which can dull the polish or damage the stone’s structure.
Avoid Heat and Impact: Sudden temperature changes or hard knocks against stone surfaces can cause fractures.
Storage: Wrap your Picasso Jasper pieces in a soft pouch or store them in a lined jewelry box away from harder stones like Topaz or Quartz to prevent scratching.
