Natural Charoite Polished Slice – Murun Massif, Russia

This is a natural charoite polished slice from the Murun Massif, Siberia, Russia, offered as an authentic collector mineral specimen.
The specimen displays a rich violet to lilac coloration with clearly visible layered and fibrous internal structure, characteristic of high-quality charoite. The polished surface reveals depth, texture, and natural zoning while preserving the irregular natural outline of the material.
Charoite is a rare potassium-calcium silicate mineral known for its distinctive color and complex internal structure. Polished slices of this size are especially valued by collectors because they clearly demonstrate the mineral’s internal texture and formation features.
The specimen is natural and untreated. Polishing is limited to surface preparation only; no dyeing, stabilization, or artificial enhancement has been applied. All photographs show the exact charoite slice you will receive.
Suitable for cabinet collections, decorative mineral displays, and educational collections.
