Natural Charoite Ring | Large Carat | Adjustable Band | Radiant Refraction | Vintage Ring | Statement Ring

Description: Charoite, also known as "purple dragon crystal," is a rare purple gemstone formed under unique geological conditions. It originates from the interaction of alkaline phonolite with limestone, undergoing special pressure, temperature, and physical transformations to create this distinctive lavender-hued stone with silky luster. First discovered in 1978 along the Chara River in the former Soviet Union, Charoite is a relatively newly identified mineral compared to more common gemstones. Charoite is not typically categorized into distinct types. Its crystalline structure is predominantly purple, interwoven with fine, wispy white inclusions. This swirling, "twisted" pattern of purple and white resembles a dragon soaring through clouds, hence its evocative name, "purple dragon crystal."
