Charoite is a rare and unique mineral known for its beautiful swirls of purple, often combined with black and white patterns. The primary charoite origin is in Russia, where it is exclusively mined, making natural charoite highly sought after for collectors and jewelry makers.
Why choose loose charoite gemstones?
Loose charoite gemstones offer flexibility in creating custom jewelry pieces. Our loose charoite selection includes options like polished charoite and charoite cabochons, allowing you to select the perfect stone for your design vision.
What are the typical colors found in charoite?
Charoite colors range from rich purples to lighter lilac shades, often highlighted by striking patterns. These purple charoite stones are known for their unique color combinations, making each piece one-of-a-kind.
Is charoite suitable for everyday jewelry?
Charoite jewelry, especially when set with polished charoite or charoite cabochons, can be worn daily, but some care should be taken due to the stone’s moderate durability. It’s best to avoid impact or exposure to harsh chemicals to maintain the charoite value and appearance.
What is the meaning and value of charoite?
The meaning of charoite is often associated with transformation, grounding, and emotional healing. Charoite value is determined by color intensity, clarity, and the unique patterns present in each charoite crystal. Many seek this gemstone not only for its beauty but also for its symbolic properties.
How should I care for my loose charoite gemstones?
To maintain the beauty of your loose charoite, store it separately from other stones to avoid scratches. Polished charoite and charoite cabochons should be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the stone's natural beauty.

The citrine gems are beautiful. I appreciated that each stone was individually shown on the website so I could see exactly what I was getting. No mystery person selecting random stones for me. The documentation included with each gem was high quality as well. Great price and arrived as expected.
