6.78 ct. Rare Bi-Color Ancient Roman Glass Cabochon from the Silk Road

This exceptional 6.78 carat bi-color Ancient Roman Glass rectangular cabochon is a window into antiquity. This bi-color piece features a striking vivid green and aqua blue. Bi-color pieces are among the most rare types of Ancient Roman Glass.

With dimensions of 14.6 x 11.3 x 6.5 mm, this transparent fancy cabochon features exceptional brilliance and eye-clean clarity, a rare feat for glass crafted over 2,000 years ago. Originating from the crossroads of the Silk Road, this piece carries the energy of one of history’s most vital trade routes and the innovative spirit of the Roman Empire. With close inspection, tiny air bubbles and specks of charcoal from the original kiln fire that have been trapped for over 2,000 years may be seen.

Roman glass, renowned for its luminous hues and pioneering production techniques, reflects a time when artisans revolutionized the art of glassmaking. This gem, repurposed and preserved as a collector's favorite, holds the essence of a bygone era where cultures converged, and luxury goods like glass traveled vast distances to adorn the elite.

VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY PROFILE

This rectangular cabochon of Ancient Roman Glass, bi-colored in vivid green and aqua blue, holds and emits frequencies from the green and blue color bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. These bands correspond to distinct energetic functions, including renewal and structured movement in the green band, and resonant clarity and conscious communication in the blue band. Together, they create a fluid yet organized frequency that supports both internal coherence and outward expression.

The green band is associated with regulated movement, regeneration, and active order. It governs structured vitality to bring one's life force energy into alignment with natural rhythms and cyclical restoration. The green band works dynamically by stimulating movement that is coherent, balanced, and life supporting. Stones that vibrate in this band help to regulate bodily rhythms, support detoxification, and foster the unfolding of new patterns in alignment with natural order. In the energy field, this frequency supports restorative momentum by allowing energy to move where it has been stagnant, but in a way that maintains energetic structure and integrity.

The blue band governs transmission, resonance, and intentional communication. It supports the emergence of internal truth through clear channels either spoken or energetic. The blue frequency enables articulation that comes from awareness and clarity. It fosters precision without force, helping the wearer or user embody calm communication and listen as deeply as they speak.

The tone of aqua, which comes from the synthesis of blue and green, resonates with fluid coherence. It allows for adaptable flow that remains aligned, merging the regenerative intelligence of green with the clarity of blue. Aqua functions as a vibrational lubricant that allows energy to move more easily through constricted channels without losing direction or purpose.

 

METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Ancient Roman Glass is revered for both its elemental resonance and its deep cultural imprint. Formed nearly two thousand years ago through the alchemical transformation of sand and mineral into glass, it carries the energy of its origin: a convergence of Roman innovation and Silk Road exchange. More than a relic, it vibrates with the memory of transcontinental movement, the ingenuity of ancient artisans, and the enduring transmission of human intention across time.

Energetically, this piece is both a regulator and a clarifier. It helps to disentangle internal chaos without collapsing flow, and to translate subtle internal truths into coherent outward form. This stone is ideal for those who are refining how they express themselves or recalibrating after times of energetic excess or stagnation, this piece offers a steady current of intelligent movement that is clear, calm, and composed.

This is a piece of living vibrational technology from antiquity that supports those wanting to move forward without fragmentation, and to speak without losing themselves.

FAQ

JEWELRY

Are the stones and materials you use natural?

Yes! All of the stones we use are high-grade, premium, and 100% natural just as Gaia made them. They are not treated in any way (heat, irradiation, dye, stabilized, etc.) because some treatments alter the vibrational nature of the stone and can be detrimental to the energy field of the wearer. We use either 100% linen or silk thread for our beaded necklaces as they are highly conductive, helping the energy travel powerfully through the piece.

Do pieces come in other sizes or stone combinations?

Each piece made is unique and not made to order. Therefore, this piece cannot be altered and does not come in other sizes or stone combinations. However, if you like this piece and want it longer, made with different stones, or altered in any way, please reach out to request a custom order via the Contact page.

Who made the pieces in your store?

Each piece is handcrafted with intention and love by founder Ashley Sohl. She hand-picks every stone and component that is used, and handmakes each piece with care and attention. We do not believe in mass produced, cookie-cutter jewelry. Sanctuary Vibrational Jewelry makes unique stone ally adornments for inner journeys and personal transformation.

How do you know the vibration of the stones?

The vibrational qualities are painstakingly tested by Ashley using a comibination of ancient and modern vibrational scientific techniques from different schools of thought, including BioGeometry, physical Radiesthesia, New Homeopathy, and more.

Do you use real gold?

Yes! We use solid 14k gold. We recently started offering gold-filled as an option to make pieces accessible to more people. If gold-filled doesn't show up as an option, please contact me to request a custom.

I want a piece that is sold out. What should I do?

Every piece I make is a genuine one of a kind. If you see a piece you like, but is sold out, you can request a custom order to have me make another one. But please be aware that some stones are very rare and I may not be able to source the exact same stones. Use the contact page to send me a message and we can discuss from there.
