Charoite (Russia) Rectangular Tube Beads, 6x12mm, 16 Inch Strand
Charoite is a rare, striking silicate mineral famous for its vibrant violet, lavender, and deep grape-purple colors with swirling, fibrous, marbled patterns.
Significant deposits of charoite are found in only one place on Earth: the Murun Massif in the Sakha Republic of Siberia, Russia. First discovered in the late 1940s, it was officially described and introduced to the international market in 1978.
