Description

Instead of the typical, one-sided polished slab, this charoite was designed into a cube-like "free-form" object.
So it is smooth and polished to high luster on 5 sides.

The edges from sharp to slightly rounded to more rounded - someone wanted to create something of their own here.

It is fixed on a plastic base - below you will find detailed information about seller and date (purchased in 1989).

Of course, measurements only concern the charoite, weight about 170 gramm.
