AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
It is a beautiful Charolite, natural, genuine, unchanged.
Charoite has a very intense and distinctive purple color with the unique pattern of swirls, feathers and needles. There may be patches of stars in black (Aegirine), orange (Tinaksite) and also transparent crystals (Microcline Feldspar). Due to its rare color change, the Charolite looks very vivid, making the piece an exclusive decorative object.
Charoite was discovered in 1978 and is a very rare mineral found only in Siberia, Russia. It is named after the Chara River, which flows past the mountain where it is mined.
