Description

Absolutely fantastic, unique and outstanding quality polished charoite plate. Masters who work with charoite may not find charoite of such high quality and beauty for years. It is simply a work of art created by nature itself. Charoite feathers shine beautifully when viewed from different angles. The plate is polished from all sides very high quality. The sixth and seventh picture is made with a moderate backlight. This is the best plate of all that I have ever offered at auction. This is an extraordinary charoite and much, much better if seen personally.
