Kamen Karchi, Natural monument and historic boulder at Kart-Dzhurtskoye rural settlement, Russia.

Kamen Karchi is a large natural boulder located where the Kuban and Khudes rivers meet in the Karachayevsky District. The formation stands as a distinctive geographical feature within the rural settlement area.

The boulder is tied to Karcha, the legendary leader of the Karachay people, whose name it bears. In 19th- and 20th-century publications it was suggested to be a meteorite, a theory still repeated by guides and in travel guides. Modern research has established its magmatic origin. It is a regional cultural heritage site.

The Karachay name Karcha-Tash links the boulder to Karcha, the legendary leader of the Karachay people, and it is revered by Karachays. The Karachay poet Nazir Khubiev wrote the ballad "Karchi Stone" about it. Visitors may hear guides repeat the old claim that the stone is a meteorite.

The site can be accessed using coordinates 43.6 North and 42.1 East within the rural settlement area. Visitors should plan their approach in advance since access routes pass through countryside terrain without major infrastructure.

Guides and travel books long described the boulder as a meteorite, a claim repeated in 19th- and 20th-century publications. Modern research has shown it is of magmatic origin. The Karachay poet Nazir Khubiev wrote a ballad titled "Karchi Stone".
