SALE thru Feb 25th Natural Charoite Pendants 7pcs Total SS925 stamped but Do Not Test as SS925!
MUST indicate style unless buying all 7pcs (discount for buying bulk lot). Natural Charoite Stones set in stamped SS925 settings but testing does not indicate the metal is actually SS925 which means MY LOSS YOUR GAIN!
The value is in the stones, which are all dense purple Charoite with some having great chatoyancy! They've been organized by the style, 3 are with a Fleur-de-lis style, 2 are a heart shape, 1 has another type of heart, and the last one but certainly not the least is the most flashy of them all but also the smallest.
These make great gifts for the looks and not the need for durability from true SS925 as they were sold to me originally. Keep them as Pendants, or harvest the stones for your own projects!
You’re holding a stone that looks as if the night sky melted into violet silk. Charoite, with its swirling lavender ribbons and flashes of chatoyant silver, has a presence that feels almost alive in your palm. Beneath the beauty lies a story of geology, Siberian folklore, and practical magic that can weave its way into your daily life. Whether you’re drawn by color, crystal lore, or the simple joy of collecting, charoite has something to offer you.
Charoite’s only commercial source is the Murun massif in the Sakha Republic of Russia, a place so remote that helicopters often provide the only reliable transport. Rough chunks of lilac rock travel thousands of kilometers, are sawn into slabs, fashioned into cabochons, polished into beads, and finally arrive at a gem show or an online shop where you spot them.
By the time you cradle a charoite stone, you’re touching a mineral that crystallized 135 million years ago under intense heat and pressure brought on by colliding tectonic plates. That sense of age and distance can make the stone feel like a time capsule you can slip into your pocket.
