Charoite is a stone for overcoming and releasing fear and negativity. It allows one to recognize and examine the cause of unconscious fears, as well as deeply rooted, internalized negativity, and to discriminate between what is real and what the mind has created. It has been found only in the Sakha Republic, Siberia, Russia, near Lake Baikal. These pieces are trimmings from rock slabs that were cut into larger stones and are of good color and quality. They would be great in medicine pouches, made into elixirs, or can be cut into stones for rings and small pendants. The parcel has nearly a quarter pound of material!
