Van Gogh Charoite

This beautiful stone hails from Siberia. Charoite forms from limestone due to the process of contact metamorphism. This is a relatively common geologic phenomenon and yet the deep purple of charoite is incredible rare. In our house, this purple pendant is called Van Gogh as the swirls and bands remind us of starry night.

Purple depicts royalty and metaphysically stimulates body and mind.
