When it comes to appearance, Charoite is one of the most distinct gemstones available on the market today. In fact, Charoite is often described as being 'unnaturally beautiful', particularly owing to its distinct characteristics. Charoite was named after Yakutia's Chary River (Russia), the location in which it was first discovered, circa 1940. Despite its actual discovery first being made sometime during the 1940s, it's considered a relatively new gemstone, as it was not introduced on a commercial level until 1978. To this day, the Murun complex in the Sakha Republic, Siberia, has been the sole source of charoite gemstones. This unique ring is about size 8.5-9. Top of the ring is about 20.75mm by 15.75mm, Charoite Cabochon is about 19.5mm by 15mm. This ring weighs approximately 9 grams and is in great vintage used pre-owned condition.
