Sugilite Information

Sugilite has been called the stone of this New Age.  A Professor Sugi after whom it was later named made the first recorded discovery of Sugilite in Japan in 1944. It was not until 1975 that it was discovered in significant quantities in South Africa near a small town called Hotazel with says it all about the climate in that area. It came in the form of a thin band running through strata in Manganese mine.  It was not until 1979 that it was found in any significant quantity when the depth of this mine had reached over 3000 feet.  This discovery yielded about 10 000 lbs of quality Sugilite. Most of the original find has now been mined and there have since only been a few, much smaller finds.

This has resulted in quality Sugilite becoming a semi-rare item on the market.  We are blessed to live in South Africa and have contacts that actually go and seek out quality Sugilite from this source.
