Charoite

10.5 mm Beads — A bracelet composed of 7 spheres of natural raa charoite from Siberia, 7 spheres of glossy black onyx and 4 spheres of moonstone, which mark the mineral sequence with a clear and soft note. The alternation of the three stones creates a harmonious rhythm, where the intricate purple of charoite, the deep black of onyx, and the iridescent white of moonstone balance in an elegant and very well-crafted contrast. Charoite, one of Russia's rarest gemstones, comes exclusively from the Chara River region in Yakutia. It is a complex silicate born from deep metamorphic processes that transformed calcites rich in alkaline minerals in contact with magmatic intrusions. Its internal structure is characterized by wavy microfibrils that generate the typical lilac, violet, and black vortices. Each sphere preserves the fibrous and irregular weave that makes this stone immediately recognizable. The black onyx, glossy and uniform, offers the perfect counterpoint.
