Charoite gemstone and Copper beaded Stretch bracelet

Genuine copper and genuine Charoite gemstones. approximately 7 inches,  chunky style so it should be a bit loose.  Charoite is a rare silicate mineral, first described in 1978. It was believed to be named after the Chara River, but due to the river being 70 km away from its discovery place, now it is believed to be named after the Russian word chary, meaning magic or charms.  When it was discovered, it was thought to be a fake, dyed purple to give it its striking appearance. Charoite is translucent lavender to purple in color with a pearly luster. Charoite is strictly massive in nature, and fractures are conchoidal. It has an unusual swirling, fibrous appearance, sometimes chatoyant, and that, along with its intense color, can lead many to believe at first that it is synthetic or enhanced artificially. Though reportedly discovered in the 1940s, it was not known to most of the world until its description in 1978. It is said to be opaque and unattractive when found in the field; a fact that may have contributed to its late recognition   We ship every day from Mon-Sat (except postal office holidays) and will do our best to ship on the same day when payment is received.
