Location:
Russia has been the only location where Charoite has been found, until
just recently. Charoite is a relatively "new" mineral, and has only
been exported from Russia and sold since 1978. Charoite has now been discovered
and recently mined in China as well. We carry both Russian and Chinese Charoite.
Russian Charoite tends to have a richer, deeper color. The Chinese Chaoite
tends be a lighter lavender color, and often contains green orthoclase as
well.
Metaphysical Properties: Loving spiritual emotion, acceptance. Precision,
focus.
Corresponding Astrological Sign: Sagittarius and Scorpio.
Corresponding Chakra: synthesis of the heart and crown chakras.
