Sugilite is the purple that made collectors rethink purple: grape to magenta, opaque to gel-translucent, essentially all fine material from a single manganese mine — Wessels in South Africa’s Kalahari. Hardness 5.5–6.5; a modern classic already growing scarce.Each sugilite at GEMIC Institute is natural, certified by our Siem Reap laboratory and photographed individually. Unique stones; worldwide tracked delivery with a 30-day return period.
