Charoite
Discovered in the 1940s, Charoite was unknown to the outside world until 1978. Its name is derived from the Chara (or Charo) River in eastern Siberia, Russia, the only site in the world where it is found. The word “Chary” in Russian means “magic” or “charms.” Charoite comes from an area of Siberia once associated with political prisoners and has become a source of comfort and a symbol of endurance in adversity.
It is a Stone for This Age, assisting in the here and now…conveying the message that one is exactly where one should be during this moment.

It gives us the balancing ability to be ourselves within the environment.
