It was first discovered in 1947 in a river called Chara; this is where its name comes from. This river is located in the Republic of Sakha, and more precisely in Eastern Siberia. It took at least 30 years later, in 1978, for the stone to be studied and described. Note that charoite is only found in Russia. Charoite is a mineral that belongs to the group of silicates. There are traces of metals such as iron, aluminum, barium or manganese. Its formation takes place at high temperatures of 200 degrees or more, in limestone massifs. Its density, which varies from 2.54 to 2.58, as well as its hardness, which is between 5 and 6 on the Mohs scale, make it a rather rigid stone.
