Charming mineral

For the first time with the mineral charoite that I met visiting grandparents. On the shelves were vases, clocks, jewelry of this lilac stone. Grandpa did all these things himself. I am fascinated by the texture of charoite.This mineral is rare, its Deposit is located at the junction of Yakutia and Irkutsk region, near BAM, in the valley of the Chara river.
