Charoite Stone
Charoite appears as an opaque bright purple gemstone with wild swirls of fibrous material. It is an unusual mineral of rare occurrence found along the Chary River at Aldan in Russia.
Charoite is formed from the alteration of limestones by the close presences of an alkali-rich nephline syenite intrusion. The heat, pressure and infusion of unique chemicals into the rock transform into new minerals such as charoite. The combination of a chemically unique limestone reacting with a unique intrusion and subjected to unique physical conditions bring out charoite.
Charoite is used for making exquisite jewelry items. The color varieties include: lavender, lilac, violet or purple.
