Stories and legends

Charoite, pronounced "charoite", was first discovered in 1947. There is no proof of its existence before: no legends, no myths, no objects discovered during archaeological excavations. We must face the facts: this stone is completely unknown. Furthermore, it is found in only one place on earth, a fact which is relatively rare.

In 1978, Russian geologist Yuri Rogov identified it as a new species of mineral. Yuri Rogov was then employed in uranium mining. He therefore went to Paris to show this stone to his colleagues. Indeed, they work at the Mineralogical Museum, considered to have the richest collection of minerals. Faced with general ignorance regarding this stone, He decided to name it charoite in reference to the Chara river, passing through a mountain range from which it comes. This mountain range is located in the Republic of Sakha in Siberia and is made up of peaks between 800 and 1,000 meters above sea level.

Chara means charm or magic in Russian. The beauty of this fine stone is remarkable. Its deposits are relatively rare and this stone is difficult to find. Indeed, more precisely, it can be discovered in the Aldan limestone massif, near Lake Baikal in Siberia. It should be noted that its deposits are very difficult to access and the exploitation of this stone proves complicated. The climatic conditions are harsh and access roads are almost non-existent. Temperatures are between -60°C in winter and +40°C in summer.

Charoite belongs to the large group of silicates. It is essentially composed of complex hydrosilicate of potassium, calcium, sodium, barium and strontium. It also has presences of materials such as iron, aluminum, manganese. Its presence is found only in the metasomatic rocks of the Aldan massif. It was formed in temperatures of 200 to 250 degrees, in the presence of calcium and potassium. It has a monoclinic crystal system with the presence of a symmetrical axis. It has a hardness of 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, which means that it is a relatively fragile mineral.

Charoite has a glassy or pearly luster, with a beautiful purple tint, ranging from mauve to lilac, even purple or sometimes white. There are many collectors because of its rarity and its magnificent beauty. This fine stone is widely used in jewelry where it is polished and often cut into cabochons. It can be sculpted to make objects of art or ornament.
