Description from the seller

Beautiful cube made of top-quality charoite, surely an object of great beauty, its cubic shape could give it an even more refined and regular appearance. Charoite is a mineral that is very rare and precious, with unique swirling colors and patterns that make it highly appreciated by collectors and mineral enthusiasts.
Charoite was first discovered in 1978 and takes its name from the Chara River in Siberia, Russia.
Its formation is the result of the alteration of limestone deposits by a syenite of the Murun Massif, which produced a potassium feldspar metasomatite. Charoite is present only in a very limited region of Siberia, which makes it even rarer and more precious.
