Chariote: A Newly Discovered Gemstone
I brought this purple and pink beaded necklace to Patrick, a geologist working at Jareds jewelry store for identification, and for a moment, I thought I had struck gold!
He rattled off the gemstones. “You have a necklace with strands of crazy lace agate, pink pearl, and chariote.
Cherry what? I had never heard of the gemstone, let alone knew what it was. He began explaining. “Tammy, this is a very rare gemstone. It is found in one river in Siberia.” “It is relatively newly discovered.” He repeated it…”only one river in the entire world has this gemstone.”
“ I can’t believe you found a necklace with an entire strand of the gemstone.”
Which stone is it?
It’s the purple strand at the center of this featured necklace.
And there it was an entire strand of this dark purple stone with swirling purple colors, that accented the entire necklace.

Patrick was mesmerized looking at this stone. Chariote is purple with lilac and violet swirls. It is so perfect, that it’s hard to believe that it could be natural from the earth. When you wear it, it will be noticed immediately.
Chariote was discovered in Siberia in 1948 in the Chara River. In 1977 it became scientifically identified.
Chariote is a gemstone that is fine quality. Its not costume jewelry. You won’t find this in Providence Rhode Island, like so many vintage costume jewelry pieces found today.

You won’t find this lovely purple gemstone in Italy, as if you are finding Micro Mosaic Jewelry or a fine piece of Italian Sterling Silver.
You will only find Chariote in Siberia in the Chara River. The next time you travel to Siberia, wade through the river and perhaps you can find a few purple stones. In case you aren’t planning to travel to Siberia, you can always find a strand of it in this necklace featured here at Grandmas Jewelry 123.com

GIS Calls it a bargain gemstone
It’s a beautiful purple gemstone, exceedingly rare and still inexpensive. That might change as it becomes better known, as it is very scarce.
In spite of its rarity, its relatively inexpensive, especially since it can only be found in Eastern Russia. Not many people are traveling to Siberia to find it!
As a relatively newly discovered gemstone, the metaphysical attributes are only recently becoming known.
It is known as a transformative stone. Transform sickness to health, poverty to wealth, and improve self esteem, when wearing this stone.
Chariote is from the Chara River
The Chara river means the river of “charm”. Perhaps that explains why this gemstone is known as a stone of enchantment. Maybe that is why Patrick, a geologist was in awe studying it.
Avoid steam cleaning it to care for it. Just use a damp cloth to care for it.
Chariote is truly a rare gemstone, and fortunately still pretty inexpensive. I only have one necklace with this rare gemstone.As it becomes better known, appreciation is likely to happen.
Whether you are traveling to Siberia, or making a shorter trip to Grandmas Jewelry, Chariote is an excellent investment in fine gemstones because its a hidden secret in the jewelry world, and when word gets out, the price will increase. And if none of that matters, it’s a beautiful purple necklace, that you will enjoy wearing, year after year.
