Purple Charoite from Russia is a raw specimen obtained in Siberia, showcasing a vivid purple color and fibrous texture. The purple matrix is densely interspersed with black, radially arranged needles of Egerine, forming rosette shapes with strong visual contrast. Complementing this rare paragenesis are honey-brown inclusions of Tinaksite, and exposure to ultraviolet light reveals point-like, bright green zones of fluorescence. Main features: intense purple color; black radial rosettes of Egerine; presence of honey-colored Tinaksite; bright fluorescence in UV. Condition: Very good.
