Russian Charoite Gemstone Bowl, Genuine Rare Gems, Lapidary Rough

Russian Charoite bowl is an amazing piece. The colors and the swirls in this piece are mesmerizing, and the color is not washed-out, like so many pieces you see today.
A stunning purple that is interspersed with silky chatoyant fibers, black, gold, and white, this piece is a carved bowl that is a literal showpiece, and was probably cut for a competition or a display. This is the epitome of quiet luxury!
Rare Charoite is exclusively found in the Murun Mountain area near the Chara River in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Siberia, Russia, and is highly sought after. Finding a piece this large is incredibly rare, and it is expensive.
Unlike many gems, inclusions in charoite, which are the fibrous inclusions that create swirling colors and sometimes chatoyancy (a silky, cat's-eye effect), don't decrease the stone's value, but rather enhance it.
This piece weighs a whopping 3 pounds, and will be a beautiful piece to add to your collection. I guarantee no one else will have this piece!
