Charoite discovered in Russia
in 1978 in the Murun mountains in Yakutia. This the only
known location
for this rare mineral. Charoite colors
range from bright lavender, violet and lilac to dark purple with
swirling patterns of black Augite, transparent crystals of microcline
feldspar, and/or orange Tinaksite. Charoite is said to enhance
self-esteem, accelerate spiritual growth, and improve the ability
to love. |
