IDENTITY CARD

CHAROÏTE

A recent discovery compared to the great historical stones, Charoïte is a real treasure from Siberia. First identified in the 1940s along the Chara River, it was not recognized as a unique gem until 1978. Its color, a deep violet with white, black and sometimes golden swirls, gives it an almost supernatural aura. Rare and exclusively from Russia, Charoïte has rapidly become the stone of inner transformation, intuition and courage in the face of the unknown.

A little history

Charoïte is relatively young in the history of gemology. It was discovered in Siberia during the geological explorations of the Soviet era. Initially confused with other violet stones, its uniqueness was recognized in 1978, and it was soon dubbed "the stone of mutation" in Russia. During the Soviet era, it was offered as a symbol of adaptation and inner strength, particularly to scientists and explorers working in extreme conditions.
