Intriguing Striped Chinese Charoite Sphere (M9565) $48.00A surprising new find of Charoite has been discovered in the Hunan Province of China. Charoite was named for the original source near the Charo River in Russia. The Chinese charoite has a few subtle differences. The purples hues tend to be are lighter and there is more banding of a quartz matrix. You may also find some green orthoclase along with the tinaksite which appears as a golden inclusion. The Chinese charoite also lacks pearlescent luster and swirled patterns associated with the Russian charoite. However the energy is just as strong yet different at the same time. Chinese charoite resonates with a flower energy, speaking of growth and renewal. Its energy will reduce fevers and inflammations, the presence of tinaksite will bolster this energy. It helps to clear the mind for better concentration and focus. Charoite with green orthoclase will also help to strengthen the lungs. Chinese charoite has recently and erroneously been called flower sugilite. Bold streaks of purple charoite are accented by the greens of orthoclase.
The sphere measures 1.8" in diameter and weighs 6.4 oz. |
