Description from the seller
It is a beautiful Charoite, natural, genuine, unchanged.
Charoite has a very intense and special purple color with the unique pattern of swirls, feathers and needles. There can be patches of stars in black (Aegirine), orange (Tinaksite) and also transparent crystals (Microcline Feldspar). Through its rare color change, the Charoite appears very lively, 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 Char river that flows past the mountain where it is mined.
