Rare Charoite Polished Stone
A large square-shaped charoite gemstone, beautifully polished and with exceptional colour. Some subtle chatoyance can also be seen in this premium-grade stone.
Charoite is a relatively rare mineral from Russia's Far East.
The amount that can be mined yearly is limited to one hundred tons.
Charoite has always been expensive and difficult to find. The current situation in Russia has pushed prices up further, and finding any nice-grade material is now more difficult than ever.
The charoite stone on the right in our photo is the only piece now available.
