AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
It is a beautiful chariot, natural, genuine, and unchanged.
Charoite has a very intense and special purple color with a unique pattern of swirls, feathers, and needles. It may contain patches of stars in black (Aegirine), orange (Tinaksite), and also transparent crystals (Microcline Feldspar). Due to 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 Chara River, which flows past the mountain where it is mined.
