Milenyum Mining has donated Csarite to the Canadian Gemmological Association (CGA).
The company says it contributed the stones at the CGA’s request to expand its students’ knowledge of the colour-changing gem, which is sourced only in the Anatolia Mountains of Turkey. The contribution comprises a variety of sizes and shapes of faceted gems and rough specimens.
“Receiving a contribution of Csarite gems of this magnitude enables CGA to share knowledge of this gem with our students, as awareness grows within the marketplace,” said CGA president Donna Hawrelko.
“We are thrilled the Canadian Gemmological Association recognizes the increasing market exposure of Csarite and the importance of correct identification of this unique gem,” said Murat Akgun, president of Milenyum Mining.
