Charoite is translucent lavender to purple in color with a pearly lustre. It is a mineral. Charoite is strictly massive in nature. It has an unusual swirling, fibrous appearance, sometimes chatoyant, and that, along with its intense color, can lead many to believe at first that it is synthetic or enhanced artificially.
