A Southwestern beauty ... A sterling silver ring ... the highlight: an oval cabochon of genuine charoite, an almost tangible movement of energy flowing in magnificent swirls and eddies of violet, lavender and purple, fully bezel set into a hand-notched setting of sterling silver ... oxidized to perfection, really shows off the wonderful detail and gorgeous color ... this beauty weighs in at 10 grams ... size 7.5 ... face measures 1-1/16" long x 7/8" wide ... split shank on the sides, band narrows in back to almost 1/8" wide ... no maker's mark (darn!), but work is most likely Navajo ... no stamp to indicate metal content, but tested and guaranteed sterling silver ... minimal surface wear and patina to the silver, no damage or repairs noted ... stone in excellent condition, with no wear, cracks or chips ... in outstanding vintage condition. Did you know? ... Charoite is a soul stone with deep physical and emotional healing energies. It is a stone of transformation and is used to overcome fears. Please know ... any big white spots on the stones are just reflections of the lights around my photography tent. Stock No. 082517M243881 Native American Navajo Hopi
