This charoite specimen has been left in a rough state, although it does have several clusters of aegirine, two of which are very nice. The charoite has been picked away from these, exposing their radial structure. The charoite has a rather pale purple color, the individual crystals are small and opaque, and the luster appears dull. Most surfaces display a splintery fracture.
