Indian Paint Stone cabochon

This hand-cut designer cabochon features rare matte Indian Paint Stone, a striking and collectible material found in the Cady Mountains of Southern California’s Mojave Desert. Known for its painterly patterns in muted reds, ochres, purples, and grays, Indian Paint Stone gets its name from its naturally occurring designs that often resemble abstract art or desert landscapes. Its unique matte finish enhances the earthy character and subtle beauty of the stone.

Highly sought after by lapidary artists and collectors, this material is no longer legally mined, adding to its rarity and value. Each stone is truly one of a kind. This cabochon has been carefully shaped and finished by hand, making it a stunning choice for artisan jewelry, wire wrapping, or display. A museum-quality piece that combines natural artistry with expert craftsmanship.
