Charoite is one of the most precious and rare of all minerals. There is only one location you can find it – the Murunski Massif near the Chara River in Yakutia. The Chara River also gave this mineral its name.

Charoite uniqueness: Charoite is charming for its purple colour with white, black or brown banding. Lately, it has been quite difficult to obtain both the raw material and the tumbled stones, which are sold almost immediately after their processing.

Special conditions/ treatment: We do not recommend cleaning the stone in salt solutions as you risk etching some of its parts.

Use: Mini tumbled stones (chips) are used for the production of various decorative items and ornamental mosaics. Size 3 - 5 mm is also suitable as filling for small glass bottles.

About the product: We offer this product in 1 kg or 5 kg package; some "chips" are available in both variants. The product is packed in firm plastic bags.
