Amethyst has long reigned supreme when it comes to purple gems, but for a nice change of pace you should try a piece with charoite. This very uncommon gem is found in only place on earth – the Chary River at Aldan in Russian. This gorgeous gem was recognized as an independent mineral in the late 1970s.
Charoite forms a swirling pattern of interlocking crystals. Colors range charoite from a stunning lavender, lilac, violet and purple. Some gems can contain all colors. The appearance of charoite is unlike any other mineral. It has the look of purple marble, with clear or translucent bands. It can also have a pearly luster.
Our charoite gems are top-grade quality, which is much higher than those found in the retail market. You’ll love the swirls and translucent bands. They have a feathery quality that is very stunning.
We offer a wide variety of pendants and rings in charoite. Choose a fancy-cut stone or classic baguette or oval gem.
Wear your charoite gems with the purple and lilac fashions that reign supreme in fall and winter this year. Charoite would be fabulous with gray, winter white and even black. You’ll be amazed at how gorgeous it looks with a wide variety of other colors, like caramel brown, too.
Add a piece of charoite to your collection. You’ll love it!
