Blue sugilite, sourced from the Republic of South Africa. Sugilite is known to be found in banded veins, and blue sugilite is what is mixed in with it. Therefore, in mineralogy, blue sugilite is actually a different mineral called "lichtenbergite." Because it is found together with sugilite, it is sold as blue sugilite, and it has become a stone with special value. The price of this blue color is currently soaring. The reason is that rumors, such as it being effective against diseases, have spread in Asia, where it is processed. Its popularity has reignited, and there are even requests to buy back the items sold to Japan at a higher price per gram... Even now that the coronavirus has subsided globally, the situation hasn't changed much, and coupled with the weak yen, it is traded at several times the price per gram compared to before the pandemic. This is a bracelet made by stringing together tumbled beads of the popular stone, sugilite. Since round beads cost over 10,000 yen per gram, please consider these tumbled beads :-) (Number of beads) Omitted for tumbled beads (Weight) Approximately 15g (Size) Approximately 7-9 x 2-4 mm (Wrist circumference) 16.5-17cm (a size that can be worn by a typical man) ※ Because it is a stone originally mixed with various minerals, there are beads that also contain manganese, quartz, and crystal.
