I think I answered my own question! Cabochon (cab'oh shon) smooth doomed tone with a flat bottom. Cabochon is a kind of cut , example pear shapped, princess cut, marquise etc. What I don't know is if the green opaque stones are emeralds or green onyx? Since the black stones are onyx, I'm starting to think that there is a chance that the green are probably onyx also. Anybody have any suggestions?
