Rare Classic Turquoise Sugilite - 925 Gold-Plated Pendant

Sugilite is a rare and precious gemstone, composed of various mineral elements such as potassium, sodium, iron, and lithium. It was first discovered in 1944 by Mr. Kenichi Sugi, a Japanese petroleum explorer, after whom it was named. However, it wasn't until 1979, following a partial collapse of manganese mines in South Africa, that Sugilite of gemstone quality was unearthed. Its appearance features an interplay of opaque shades of purple and reddish-purple, sometimes deepening to black. Royal purple is considered the finest hue, and prolonged wear can enhance its luster.
