Description: This is a nice color charoite specimen mined in Siberia, Russia (polished one side)Weight - 50 gr. Dimensions (max.) 2 x 1-5/8 x 3/4 inch. (1 in=2.5 cm)Charoite is a rare mineral, first described in 1978 and named for the Chara River. It has been reported only from the Sakha Republic, Yakutia, Siberia, Russia.It is found where a syenite, the Murunskii Massif, has intruded into and altered limestone deposits producing a potassium feldspar metasomatite.Charoite is translucent lavender to purple in color with a pearly lustre. However, it is a discrete mineral rather than a rock. Charoite is strictly massive in nature, and fractures are conchoidal. It has an unusual swirling, fibrous appearance, sometimes chatoyant, and that, along with its intense color, can lead many to believe at first that it is synthetic or enhanced artificially. Charoite is associated with the crown chakra. Healers use this stone for grounding and helping with spiritual journeys. It is said that relief from nightmares can be gained through the placement of charoite and amethyst under your pillow. Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
