Cabochons (domes) have been smoothly polished into dome shapes and have a flat base. These are primarily of use for energising or clearing a space, as well as being very pretty to look at - the polishing often reveals the details of the interior structure or enhances its reflective surface, depending on the material worked with. Smaller domes can be held with some comfort in the hand or placed on the body and used in the same way as palm stones. This shape is also popular with jewelry makers for setting into rings or pendants.
