Sugilite is a rare cyclosilicate mineral, best known for its intense purple color and limited supply from the Wessels Mine in South Africa. Fine material is increasingly scarce, especially in solid, high-saturation pieces.
This cabochon displays rich, vivid purple with strong saturation and minimal dilution—traits that define top-quality Sugilite. Clean, well-colored material like this is far less common than matrix-heavy or pale grades, making it especially desirable for collectors and high-end jewelry work.
It measures 30 x 13 x 4 mm and weighs 14.1 cts.
