A variety of beautiful gemstones is found in special places in the pillow lavas of Troodos, and it takes a very experienced operator to know where they may be located and how they can be worked to bring out their hidden beauty. Below are some examples of cabochons and other shapes cut and polished in our workshop. Some of these, like red jasper, are more common, although not less beautiful, however others, such as green chalcedony are extremely rare, and the amazing green jasper is a rarity among Cyprus gemstones but also unique to Cyprus, having not been identified anywhere else.
