AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful cube made of top-quality Charoite, definitely a very beautiful object, its cubic shape could give it an even more refined and regular appearance. Charoite is a very rare and precious mineral, with unique swirling colors and patterns that make it highly appreciated by collectors and mineral enthusiasts.
Charoite was first discovered in 1978 and is named after the Chara River in Siberia, Russia.
Its formation is the result of the alteration of limestone deposits by a Murunskii massif sienite, which produced a potassium feldspar metasomatism. Charoite is found only in a very limited region of Siberia, making it even rarer and more precious.
