Indonesian Bone Wood Cabochons

These striking cabochons are cut from Indonesian Bone Wood, a fascinating fossil material that formed when ancient wood was gradually replaced with minerals over millions of years. During the fossilization process, the wood developed a distinctive cellular or “bone-like” pattern, giving the stone its unusual name and remarkable appearance.

Each cabochon displays intricate natural textures that resemble tiny bone structures or honeycomb patterns, often highlighted in earthy shades of tan, brown, cream, gray, and black. When polished, the material reveals beautiful contrast and depth, making every stone truly one-of-a-kind.

Indonesian Bone Wood cabochons are especially popular among wire-wrappers, silversmiths, and lapidary artists who appreciate stones with strong character and organic patterns. Their unique fossilized structure pairs beautifully with rustic, western, and nature-inspired jewelry designs.

At Lakeport Lapidary, we carefully select and polish our cabochons to highlight the natural character of each stone while maintaining smooth edges and a clean, professional finish ready for setting.
