Charoite cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of charoite, cut from Russian rough purchased by my cousin directly from the importer. This rare purple gem material is found only at a single source, along the Charo River, located in a very remote area of East Central Siberia. This cab features a delightful crushed velvet sort of pattern, and deep purple coloration with excellent pearly chatoyance. Wish I had a boatload of rough just like it! This example has been backed with an extra thin layer of black jade for added strength. The stone has a well rounded dome of 6mm, a curvy designer teardrop shape, and a super glossy polish both front and back.
Size: 42x24mm
Weight: approximately 44 carats
