This is a high-quality free-form slice of charoite, a massive mineral known for its swirling patterns and pearly luster.

Charoite forms in solid masses and has a hardness of 5–6 on the Mohs scale. It is commonly used for decorative pieces, carvings, and cabochons. The piece measures 2.25 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 4.25 inches high. It is in good condition.
