Sugilite gemstone pendant 925 silver 13x19 mm

Sugilite – one of the rarest gemstones in the world. Its name is derived from the Japanese geologist Ken-ichi Sugi, who first described it in Japan in 1944. The largest and most significant deposit is located in South Africa – yet almost all known occurrences are already largely exhausted. In good quality, sugilite is among the most expensive gemstones in existence. Its characteristic violet to purple hue is created by manganese in the crystal lattice. This pendant is set in 925 sterling silver.

Significance in crystal healing
