This is a piece of natural, untreated gel sugilite rough.

405 grams (2,025 carats) - All natural and untreated

Comes from personal old stock collection from South Africa. Obtaining high quality rough, especially choice pieces like this has become very difficult.

Features:

Genuine, natural, untreated gel Sugilite rough stone
Pleochroic nature: the hue of the purple presents different shades depending on lighting sources

Provenance & Authenticity Guarantee:

This rough specimen is part of a 20-year private legacy collection. Unlike the "stabilized" (plastic-filled) or dyed imitations frequently found on the market, this is 100% Natural, Untreated, and Old-Stock Sugilite Rough. Sourced directly from the legendary Wessels Mine in the Kalahari Manganese Field, South Africa. This is authentic, museum-quality material curated with two decades of expertise.

Lapidary & Geological Profile:

This rough material represents a finite resource from the northern tip of the Kalahari basin. Depending on the specimen, it may exhibit classic "Grape Jelly" Gel, the rare Fibrous silky variety, or natural associations with Bustamite, Richterite, and Manganese. As a pleochroic mineral, the true depth of the purple and internal translucency is best revealed under natural outdoor sunlight or high-quality 5700K lapidary lighting.
