HEALTH EFFECTS
Important!
Lithotherapists do not recommend wearing several sugilite products at the same time, because the purple gemstone has very strong energy which, in the case of an excess, turns good into harm - instead of calm, a person will feel fatigue, nervous tension, and calm. In addition, regular contact with lavulite is contraindicated for people in professions such as surgeons, air traffic controllers, or drivers—that is, anyone whose work is associated with the need for constant concentration. A person's mineral relaxes them, which may lead to reduced alertness, thus risking unforgivable professional misconduct.MAGICAL ABILITIES
The beautiful purple gemstone could not remain unnoticed by esotericists. Minerals of a color such as lavulite have always been considered guides to the world of spirits. Purple stones are used in séances today. And although magicians have not discovered outstanding magical properties in sugilite, the veins of the stone, which can change shade with a change in the angle of rotation, are indeed considered a sign of a magical gift.
Esotericists note that sugilite plays the role of an advisor in difficult life situations that require making the only right decision. It is a kind of mineral of wisdom that warns its owner of the “pitfalls” and consequences of possible solutions to a problem.
The very color of the mineral itself speaks to its importance – since time immemorial, purple has been the color of judges' robes. Based on this, purple turquoise will be useful to all representatives of such professions as judges, lawyers, prosecutors, or those who have a direct influence on people's destinies—military leaders, politicians.
Important! The best embodiment of wisdom will be a sugilite rosary. They should have an odd number of beads, based on horsehair. In moments of decision, you should slowly sort pebbles and think about the possible consequences of the situation. The talisman will help you find the one true path.
The properties of sugilite are explained not only by magicians, but also by experts in the field of color therapy.
In their opinion, the shades of the mineral act like recharging the brain, specifically its creative "department".ZODIAC SIGNS

LOCALITIES
The first discovered field was the Japanese island of Iwagi. Later, mineral deposits were discovered in India and then in the Kalahari Desert near Namibia. For many years, the African Wessels mine has supplied the world with the most beautiful sugilite crystals. Today, deposits of African stone are running out. Small amounts of the mineral were found in Italy, Canada, Tajikistan, and Australia (the Tamworth mines, Woods Mine, New South Wales). The remaining deposits continue to be mined in Japan (in syenite reserves at the Iwagi Islet mine), India (the Madhya Pradesh mine), and South Africa (Cape Province, the Kuruman mines, as well as the N'Chwaning and Wessels mines).

HISTORY AND TRADITION
Sugilite is a young gemstone discovered less than a century ago. The birthplace of the first discovery is the Japanese island of Iwagi. The mineral was named after its discoverer, the Japanese professor of mineralogy Ken-ichi Sugi. The first samples extracted in 1944 were not of good quality. After 10 years, sugilite was found in India, but the most beautiful gemstone specimens were not discovered until 1976 at an African deposit. Since then, sugilite has become well-known and very popular.
Due to its unusual color, the mineral has acquired several more beautiful names:
Sugilite is formed by aggregates of densely intergrown prismatic crystals. The lilac gemstone lies alongside such minerals as albite, pectolite, zircon, aegirine, and apatite.
Sugilite is young, but mineralogists already know that the stone's reserves are negligible and will soon run out. Over all the years of deposit development, the total volume of extracted mineral amounted to approximately 5 tonnes. This makes the lilac gemstone even more sought after.
INTERESTING FACTS
1. It is said that with sugilite you can drive away jealousy
Sugilite is a very uplifting crystal that radiates light and love even in the darkest situations. It is also called luvulite, because it is an important stone of love, opening the heart chakra to unconditional love.
In the presence of sugilite, hostile or jealous feelings have no hope of surviving.
Jealousy in a relationship is very destructive. Some men, for example, will make a jealous scene even when their partner is just talking to another man. Women can behave the same way, secretly looking through their partner's text messages or emails when they don't trust him. Sugilite can change these emotions before they threaten your relationship.
