Buying charoite for a shop
Charoite is a rare violet silicate mineral, first described in 1978 and known from a single region. Its colour runs from lilac to deep purple, with swirling, fibrous patterns and a silky shine. It is often mixed with black aegirine, orange-brown tinaksite and white quartz or feldspar. Its bright colour leads some buyers to think it is lab-made, but charoite is a natural stone. It is about 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale.

Selling charoite
Charoite is a jewellery stone first. The swirling pattern shows best on flat slices and polished beads, so display pendants on a neck form or flat card under good light. Pair it with amethyst and lepidolite for a purple display. It is traditionally associated with courage and change.
