Material: Sugilite & Richterite (natural and untreated)
Size 27.1x 13.9 x 3.3 mm
Gel sugilite & Richterite freeform cabochon
Many enthusiasts know Sugilite, in its rare natural purple (ranging from light pink to fuchsia to lavender purple hues) color, uniquely for its metaphysical and healing properties, and its associated symbolic meanings for love, royalty, success, and positive healing. Sugilite is closely related and often formed with other minerals and elements, including Richterite (blue), Bustamite (Orange), and Manganese (Black when rough but looks Silver Metallic when polished), which is why some Sugilite has beautiful patterns and hues. This listing's primary categorical material is listed but very well may have some of these other trace minerals present, which may not even be identifiable until the rough is processed to a finished gemstone.
This item was photographed in direct LED daylight lighting (5300K). Measurements represent the maximum values for the dimensions.
Please ask any questions and review policies and FAQS before ordering.

All the sugilite featured in this shop is entirely the way nature made it, natural and untreated. Sugilite is a very rare mineral with limited quantities ever mined. This cabochon was cut from sugilite out of a collection of old stock sugilite from Wessels Mine, South Africa that I've had in storage for more than 20 years!
Sugilite grows in a metallic host rock, Manganese, which may include trace amounts of other rare minerals commonly found together such as richterite (blue) and bustamite (brown to orange) with occasionally trace host rock, manganese (though this is rare and uncommon in most my specimens and it is stated and shown).

Designed, crafted, and sold by me! Hand-cut by me in California, U.S.A. with excellent craftsmanship and quality. This cabochon was cut and finished from 100% natural and untreated semi-precious gemstone.
This cabochon can be used in jewelry, as a collector piece, art, palm/pocket stone, and decor item or for wire wrapping, macrame jewelry, and more.
Photos:
This item was photographed wet in direct LED (daylight lighting - 5300K). Why? I specifically use full-spectrum wavelength 5300K lightbulbs, because they mirror the same wavelength of light and can capture the exact hues of the stone. I want you to get in hand what you see. I know it's hard to buy online. I do not edit my photos, this means I don't increase exposure or change color saturation or anything. I do close-up photos so you can see the details of the stone and composition.
Additional photos available upon request. Please request additional photos and information before purchasing. I can usually accommodate most requests.
Looking for custom-made pieces? I make custom pieces upon request.
Please note that on a very very rare occasion a piece will no longer be in stock as these are OOAK and also available in other locations or during shows. Please bear with me, I'll let you know quickly and get you a quick refund if this happens, and thank you very much for your understanding! If you want to check before ordering, send me a message about the piece and I'll try to confirm quickly.
