Gemstones: Charoite Matched Pair - 18.34 Cts.
Russia
22.58 x 13.07 x 4.11 mm

This matched pair of polished Charoite cabochons exhibits the swirling, fibrous patterns and vivid purple tones for which this rare mineral is celebrated. Light lavender and deep violet intermingle with silvery chatoyant streaks, creating a dynamic, almost 3-dimensional effect across the surface. The elongated pear shapes are well-proportioned for custom jewelry, with each cabochon carefully cut to mirror the other in color balance and pattern flow. Together weighing 18.34 carats in total, this pair offers both aesthetic harmony and the distinctive beauty that makes Charoite so highly sought after by enthusiasts. This is an excellent matched set for a refined lapidary or jewelry project.
