Fluorescent Charoite Specimen — Siberia, Russia | UV Reactive | 0.6 oz
Sourced from the only known deposit on Earth — the Chara River region of Siberia, Russia — this Charoite specimen surprises with a rare bonus: stunning UV fluorescence that transforms it under both shortwave and longwave ultraviolet light.
Under UV 254 nm, vivid pink-magenta and electric purple veins ignite across the surface, tracing the mineral's signature fibrous swirls in neon tones. Under UV 365 nm, the specimen shifts to a deep indigo-blue glow with bold red-magenta rivers cutting through the matrix — a display unlike anything in daylight.
In natural light, it shows Charoite's classic swirling violet and lavender patterns. Under UV, it becomes something else entirely.
