This Russian charoite cabochon sliver is very dazzling. It has a very unique contemporary design. The stone has a semi-sparkling look to it with different shades of purple throughout. It can be used simply as a conversation piece or talisman, or it can be made into a spectacular piece of custom jewelry. This gift is sure to please anyone receiving it. A very thin layer of charcoal is adheared to the back of the stone in order to protect it from cracking while setting the caboshone in jewelry.
