History and folklore
Sugilite was first described in 1944 by a Japanese petrologist named Ken-ichi Sugi, and it was named in his honor. The rich purple gem-quality material was found later in the manganese mines of the Kalahari region of South Africa. Since it is a young discovery, its lore is modern. Many practitioners call it a stone of love and spiritual protection, especially for sensitive people. It is rarer and costlier than most stones, so a small tumbled piece is plenty.
