We are selling a large quantity of Charoite beads
for a friend who was in the jewellery trade but has retired. Charoite is a rare
mineral only found in the Chara River valley
of Siberia. It was exported
in small quantities up to around 1990 but apparently is no longer. This supply
has come from a source in Amritsar
and was bought around that time and has been sitting in a cardboard box ever
since! Unlike the majority of Charoite beads on ebay at the moment, these have
not been dyed, their colour being completely natural.
This lot comprises five strands of 14mm long
nuggets, each strand 42cms in length and each weighing around 65-75 grams. Please note I am selling several different-sized strands from very small to large. These are medium.
Happy to combine lots to save on postage.
