Fantastic genuine Sugilite SR22 necklace gemstones untreated not dyed/oiled intense color real gemstone Africa

Fantastic sugilite necklace

Sugilite was only discovered in the middle of the 20th century and its name goes back to its discoverer.
The main location of sugilite is in the South African Kalahari Desert. The mines are in Hotazel ​​(town), but the Wessel mine is already exhausted, which means the value of the stone is constantly increasing. Other locations include the island of Iwagi in southeastern Japan as well as Namibia and India. However, the sugilites from other sites (except the Kalahari Desert) are not suitable for making jewelry and gemstones because they are very small and do not have a special color. Sugilite is therefore a sought-after and rare jewelry gemstone.

In addition to aegirine, accompanying minerals (parageneses) can include albite, allandite, andradite, apatite, pectolite, quartz, richterite, titanite and zircon.

The sugilite is of selected quality with a beautiful color, natural and untreated (not dyed or oiled)
