It is absolutely beautiful! It's from South Africa. Sugilite is sometimes used as a healing stone. It is said to strengthen the heart, aid physical healing and reduce stress. This piece is 100% authentic sugilite. There is a lot of fake sugilite on the market now so be sure to buy from reputable sellers who will stand by the authenticity of their items. Thanks so much for visiting my store and have a great day! Below is some information about this mineral from Wikipedia SugiliteFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to navigationJump to search Original Manganoan Sugilite "GEL" Smithsonian Exhibit HistorySugilite (/ˈsuːɡɪlaɪt/ SOO-gi-lyt) is a rare pink to purple cyclosilicate mineral with the complex chemical formula KNa2(Fe, Mn, Al)2Li3Si12O30. Sugilite crystallizes in the hexagonal system with prismatic crystals. The crystals are rarely found and the form is usually massive. It has a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6.5 and a specific gravity of 2.75 to 2.80. It is mostly translucent. Sugilite was first described in 1944 by the Japanese petrologist Ken-ichi Sugi (1901–1948) for an occurrence on Iwagi Islet, Japan, where it is found in an aegirine syenite intrusive stock. It is found in a similar environment at Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada. In the Wessels mine in Northern Cape Province of South Africa, sugilite is mined from a strata-bound manganese deposit. It is also reported from Liguria and Tuscany, Italy; New South Wales, Australia and Madhya Pradesh, India. Note: The mineral is commonly pronounced with a soft "g", as in "ginger". However, as with most minerals, its pronunciation is intended to be the same as the person it is named after; in this case, the Japanese name Sugi has a hard "g", as in "geese".[1] Inventory code: P
