When it comes to appearance, Charoite is one of the most distinct gemstones available in the world today,and without question, one of the rarest. It derives its name from the 'Chara River'.

 First discovered in 1940 in one of the most inhospitable places on Earth, where temperatures can drop to minus 30/45 degrees ! The lowest recorded was in 1933 at minus 65 degrees !

 Charoite is often described as being 'unnaturally beautiful', particularly owing to its distinct characteristics. The colors of Charoite are unmistakable and can range from lilac to lavender and from light-violet to medium-deep purple.

NATURAL CHAROITE

 Most Charoite gemstones exhibit several violet shades in a very unique pattern, often swirling, streaking or feather-like. The swirling patterns are considered to be a signature trait of Charoite and are the result of interlocking complex fibrous crystals.

Quite apart from anything else, our Earth has given us an object of exquisite beauty, and HPJ, of course, have brought it to BoB....
