The stone of spiritual love and awareness, Sugilite, derives its name from the Japanese geologist Ken-ichi Sugi, who first identified it in 1944. Initially found in Japan’s Iwagi Islet, Sugilite later appeared in the Wessels Mine in South Africa, where it was extensively mined. Sugilite remains relatively rare, making it highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. Its rarity is attributed to several factors, including limited occurrences, geological conditions required for its formation, and the challenges associated with extracting and processing it into specimens. As a result, large, high-quality Sugilite crystals command significant value in the gemstone market.
The Spiritual Vibes
This striking purple gemstone is revered for its profound metaphysical properties and spiritual significance. Believed to open the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, Sugilite stimulates psychic awareness and enlightenment, facilitating a deeper connection to the spiritual realm.
Sugilite has been valued for its ability to enhance intuition and spiritual growth. It is often used in meditation to deepen insights and promote inner peace and harmony. Sugilite is also regarded as a protective stone, shielding the wearer from negative energies and EMF.
In astrology, Sugilite is associated with the zodiac sign Pisces, aligning with the intuitive and compassionate nature of this sign. Its elemental affinity with water further enhances its emotional and spiritual properties.
The affirmation “I trust in the wisdom of the universe to guide me on my spiritual path” resonates deeply with Sugilite’s energy, fostering a profound sense of trust and connection to the Divine.
Sugilite's Favourite Pairing Crystals
Sugilite pairs harmoniously with Amethyst, Clear Quartz, and Lapis Lazuli for amplifying spiritual energies and enhancing psychic abilities. It can be worn as jewellery or placed in meditation spaces to facilitate spiritual growth and enlightenment. Cleansing Sugilite with water or moonlight restores its energetic properties, ensuring its continued support on the spiritual journey.
