Charoite

Charoite K(Ca,Na)2Si4O10(OH,F)•H2O is a rare silicate mineral, first described in 1978 and named for the Chara River. It has been reported only from the Aldan Shield, Sakha Republic, Siberia, Russia. It is found where a syenite of the Murun Massif has intruded into and altered limestone deposits producing a potassium feldspar metasomatite.Charoite is translucent lavender to purple in color with a pearly luster. Charoite is strictly massive in nature, and fractures are conchoidal. It has an unusual swirling, fibrous appearance, sometimes chatoyant, and that, along with its intense color, can lead many to believe at first that it is synthetic or enhanced artificially.

That marble statue isn't me
You call it by my name but no one's listening
A perfect surface, silky smooth
A clone that does everything that you want it to
You chip away again
A body into bone
And wonder why each strike
More people turn to stone

So you wanna put me on a pedestal
I see you raise the statue by the throat
Carve me up and put me under microscope
You'll find a flaw and cut away
Until nothing remains
And tell the world that it's okay
You never liked me anyway

Only silence, empty rooms
If walls could talk
There's nothing they'd be tellin' you
When people knock, you turn away
Every neighbor that is here
You wish you could replace
So let no one in
There's just no way to win
No one's free from sin
No-o-o-o

So you wanna put me on a pedestal
I see your hands are coming for my throat
Carve me up and put me under microscope
I'll take a chance and get away
Enjoy all of the memories
And tell the world that nothing's changed
you never knew me anyway

Miles away
I'll find my shape
So you wanna put me on a pedestal
I am not the person that you think you know

I am not a legacy for you to mold
I know what you seek is impossible
So you can strike the empty air
I think you make a perfect pair
No one to hurt, 'cause no one's there
Just statues of who used to care
