The listing, ~EXTREMELY RARE-SEMI-PRECIOUS ~.........CHAROITE.....!!!!! 52 Large Oval Pre-drilled Stone Beads!! has ended.
Only discovered in 1978 in Russia, charoite is a beautiful purple-lavender, with deposits of yellow and tan within its varied patterns. Rarely cut in individual pieces this size, this auction contains 52 stones slightly longer than an inch, 3/4 of an inch wide and between 1/8 and 1/4 in depth, as the stones are very slightly domed on each side. This is the last of the lot. A nice addition to any collection, or even 1 or 2 of these in any piece of jewelry would give it that little something that no one else has!!
