mindat.org calls it Charoite : ) That is the most intricate piece with embedded wire I have seen. Beautiful!
I love purple rocks, too. Won a charoite slab at club picnic. : )

Very nice and an interesting concept/design. But some of the pieces in the "frame" look like sugilite, not charoite. I'd be interested in learning more about how it was made.
