Sugilite

Sugilite is found in Iwagi Island, Japan as well as Quebec, Canada and most importantly in South Africa. The stone comes in pale to dark purple colour and contains black, reddish brown and yellowy patches. Sometimes referred to as ‘luvulite’ or ‘royal lazelle’, Sugilite jewellery is becoming very popular for ornamental pieces. Sugilite jewellery uses polished stones which are usually opaque and have an almost waxy lustre. Sugilite is also considered to be an important healer's stone which is used to gently draw out inflammation, stress, disease, and emotional blockages. Sugilite jewellery is also thought to absorb and dissolve anger and unwanted energies.
