Metaphysical Properties:
Sometimes called a "stone of transformation," charoite is thought to aid the transformation of negative emotions into positive ones. It is believed to encourage inner strength, assertiveness, creativity and self-esteem.
Proper Care of Charoite:
Charoite is a soft stone--about the same as untreated turquoise--and is vulnerable to scratches and dings. However, due to its cleavage pattern, it is more durable to knocks and impacts than turquoise. Charoite may need to be re-polished occasionally to remove surface scratches and retain its luster. Charoite is sensitive to heat and high pressure, so avoid using steam or ultrasonic cleaners. For cleaning, use a mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft cloth or brush. Rinse well and pat dry. Store in a cloth bag or fabric-lined box to prevent scratches. This material's calcite content makes it sensitive to acids, so remove charoite jewelry before perspiring.
