N84: Charoite on spiral rope:   $160

Delicate silver-wrapped Charoite cabachon on a spiral rope of purple seed beads with rose quartz accents.

Charoite is an unsual mineral and of rare occurence. Charoite is found in only one location - along the Chary River at Aldan in Russia. Charoite is so unusual looking with its chatoyancy and strange looking strands of fibrous material that it is often mistaken for a synthetic. The spiral rope was worked in two shades of purple with smoky quartz rondelles and small carved rose quartz ovals for additional accent.
