The stones shimmer in a rich purple-violet to strong magenta, often interspersed with dark manganese inclusions that make each stone a unique work of natural art. A necklace that embodies hope, healing, and inner strength – and one that you simply love to wear.

Mineralogical properties

Sugilite is a very rare cyclosilicate from the osumilite group of minerals with the chemical formula KNa₂(Fe,Mn,Al)₂Li₃Si₁₂O₃₀. Its characteristic violet to purple-red color is caused by manganese ions in the crystal lattice. The Mohs hardness is 5.5 to 6.5. Sugilite crystallizes in the hexagonal system and shows a characteristic waxy to vitreous luster. It is one of the rarest gemstones in the world – its name goes back to the Japanese geologist Ken-ichi Sugi, who first described it in 1944. The original discovery site is in Japan; the most important and largest deposit is located in South Africa (Wessels Mine, Kalahari). Almost all known deposits are already largely exhausted, which makes sugilite a particularly valuable collector's item.

Healing effects & energetic properties

In gem therapy, sugilite is considered a "New Age Stone" – the stone of the new era and one of the most powerful healing stones for the challenges of our time. The following effects are attributed to it:

• gives you hope and confidence – even in the darkest phases of life
• supports you with new beginnings, reorientation, and after strokes of fate
• accompanies you empathetically through illness, operations, and convalescence
• is considered, according to gem therapy literature, one of the most powerful companion stones for serious illnesses, especially cancer
• strengthens your resilience and helps you to live through difficult life phases with dignity and inner strength

In chakra teachings, sugilite is assigned to the crown chakra and the third eye chakra – it combines spiritual opening with deep healing and helps you to connect with your higher purpose.

Care & note

Clean your necklace with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid contact with chemicals, perfume, and strong heat, as well as strong mechanical stress. Information on healing effects is based on the tradition of gem therapy and does not replace medical treatment.
