Home Up Charoite Tourmaline Aquamarine Alexandrite

¡@

Charoite was discovered in Russia in 1978 and is  named for the Charo River near where it was found. The colors in each piece range from bright lavendar, violet and lilac to dark purple with both white, gray and black veining. Charoite is so unusual looking with its strange looking swirly  strands of fibrous material that it is often mistaken for a synthetic.  It ranges from 5 - 6 on the MOHS scale.
