<B>POLISHED CHAROITE SPHERE</B></I><BR> <I>Chary River, Aldan, Russia</B></I><BR>With the appearance of purple marble, charoite is a most unusual mineral, and one of rare occurrence, found only in one location along the Chary River in southeastern Russia. Charoite is an extremely difficult mineral to cut, despite a hardness of 5 on the MOHS hardness, due to its interlocking fibrous crystal system, which makes this sphere all the more impressive. The swirling purples, like clouds of some supra-planetary gas, surround islands of clear calcite crystal and fathomless spots of black Augite. The sphere measures 3½ inches in diameter. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
