The name of the mineral Charoite is derived from the river Chara in Siberia. This is the only place charoite is found. This Charoite tower started out as hand selected top quality raw material. Next, we have them carved especially for us. Finally, we cleanse with sage for energy clearing. Charoite increases inspiration, courage, releases fear, and brings perseverance. It also helps to live in the present moment and to overcome a resistance to change. Chara River area, Aldan Shield, Russia
