These colors swirl throughout the stone in fascinating matrices of color. Originally discovered in the 1940’s and not introduced commercially until 1978, it is a relative newcomer to the gem market. The name is derived from the Charo River in eastern Siberia, Russia, the only site where it can be found.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrand Length: 15-16-inch.\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Russia\u003cbr\u003eMetaphysical Attributes: Wisdom, Healing\u003cbr\u003eChakra: Heart, Crown\u003cbr\u003eApprox.
