Press Release: Milenyum Mining Limited recently donated two rare CSARITE® gemstones to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) museum in Carlsbad, California. CSARITE® is a natural color change gemstone actively mined at only one global source deep in the Anatolia Mountains of Turkey. A 37.29-carat Wobito® oval and an especially large 115.57-carat cabochon gem that also exhibits chatoyancy, otherwise known as the cats eye effect, as well as a collection of 30 additional CSARITE® gemstones in a variety of sizes, shapes and cuts were given to the Institute.  “Only about 40 to 50 percent of the rough material is suitable enough to be considered for faceting,” explained Murat Akgun, the president of Milenyum Mining Limited. “Of that amount, 98 percent is lost in the cutting process. GIA’s appreciation for fine, rare gemstones makes it an especially appropriate home for these gems.” “The beautiful, large oval and cabochon gems are truly display quality pieces,” stated Ottaway. “And with more and more of this unusual material available in the marketplace, we very much appreciate having this assortment of gemstones to share with our students, researchers and visitors.” About MML
