Product Details

Striking and weighty, this rectangular warrior-profile intaglio cabochon is carved into a lustrous, silvery-black stone with subtle matte depth and metallic sheen. Believed to be hematite due to its substantial heft and reflective quality, this piece tested in the jadeite/spinel range on a Presidium gem tester—common for hematite and related materials. The stylized carving, depicting a helmeted warrior in crisp low relief, makes this an ideal centerpiece for vintage-style men's rings or statement pendants. This stone is most likely vintage mid-century or earlier and retains its original sharp edges and reflective polish on the carved face.
