Don’t miss out on your opportunity to own an increasingly scarce gem quality Sugilite.

Sugilite is a rare mineral that was identified in 1944 by Japanese geologist, Kenichi Sugi. Even though discovered in 1944, it did not become well known until 1979 when a major deposit of gem quality Sugilite was found in a mine in the Southern Khalarhari Desert in South Africa, where the raw material for this cabochon is from. Sugilite is classified as a Cyclosilicate, and is in the same class as Tourmaline, Iolite and the Beryl Group. According to Suglite.com, “Genuine Sugilite is becoming increasingly scarce. This is due to the fact that a majority of what has ever been discovered has already been mined out. There is an extreme dwindling availability for the rich lavender and purple types of Sugilite. The result is jewelry manufacturers are left with little to work with. Thus, when color rich purple, grape, or lavender/fuchsia Sugilite is stumbled upon, it commands a very high premium.”

Metaphysical

Sugilite is known as “The Healers Stone,” and is believed to enhance healing.
