Nature's masterpiece!!! The Gem of the Ural Mountains: Charoite - Beautiful Charoite in Free Form - Height: 210 mm - Width: 100 mm- 1923 g
Charoite, an extraordinary gemstone from the Ural Mountains in Russia, is a true masterpiece of nature. With its deep purple color and chromatic veins that intertwine like an abstract painting, this gemstone is a visual marvel.
Under the microscope objective, Charoite reveals its complex crystalline structure. Composed primarily of calcium and barium silicates, this gemstone has crystals arranged in a unique pattern resembling an artistic mosaic. What makes it even more fascinating are the inclusions of minerals such as phlogopite and neptunite, which give the stone an ethereal shine.
Charoite was discovered only recently, in the 1970s, and is still a geological enigma. Its formation is linked to an extraordinary geological environment and extremely rare conditions. This gem, therefore, is both a feast for the eyes and a challenge for the scientific mind.
