Sugilite Pendant - Dendritic Pendant

I finally got around to wrapping that dendritic agate that I talked about in my last blog post!!

I am happy to say, it is in the mail to its new home.

Congratz little pendent!! 

This little pendant is made from sugilite. (SOO-gee-lite) Most people associate sugilite with purple, but in lower quality stone (quality meaning gem quality) it ranges in color from purple to black. I have a little box of tumbled odds and ends, some big enough for a pendant, and most will be wrapped into earrings.

This little one is now at it's home, bringing support and encouragement to it's new partner :)

Sugilite is a love stone and spiritual growth. It shows you how to live authentically, appreciate everything about your life, and who you really are. This is a great stone to keep with you on your journey to live your truths, follow your passions, and be bold and courageous!!

It will inspire you to discover your purpose in this world and make you appreciate everything about your life. Is the glass have empty? Need to change your perception and find more positivity in your world? This is the little stone to help with that. 

I am just now learning about the properties of this stone, and I am loving everything I am finding out.  I think I am gonna have to make myself a pair of earrings :)

Until then, thanks for stopping by and remember:

Be peaceful, be kind, it's important!


All of my jewelry creations are based on the metaphysical properties of the stones or the colors that are incorporated. Jewelry should be a window to our soul, a protector of our emotions and a companion to our spirit. All of my other creations come directly from my heart in hopes they touch yours as well. Celebrate yourself with healing jewelry, and other gift ideas made with love!

Commissioned piece - Sugilite

My friend Vanessa gave me two donuts - one for me, one for her.

She had seen my Green Man necklace and wanted something similar but with a donut. She called these Pink Sugilite. I have never heard of it and was thrilled. I have done days of searching to find out more information and wanted to share it with you.

While searching for sugilite I only found the classic purples that we all know and love, it wasn't till I did a search for lavulite, another name for sugilite, did I find examples like the donuts pictured.

Sugilite or Lavulite is a beautiful stone and a fairly recent find in the gemstone world. Named after Ken-ichi Sugi, the discoverer of the gem, sugilite was introduced in 1944. Found on Iwagi Islet in Japan, it has since been found in Canada, Africa, Australia, Italy and India.


Most of us know it like this with it's beautiful opaque waxy luster and hues that range from a pale grayish lavender to a deep dark purple. I myself perfer the darker shades, which is probably why when I was first introduced to sugilite, I got it confused with charoite all the time. Has that ever happened to you?

I had to get the researching out of my way so I could concentrate on her necklace design. Here is how it turned out.














I added the silver bells I got from Rings & Things to give it a whimsical feel, along with garnet heishi cut beads and black crystals.

It is a fun and simple design so not to draw away from that beautiful focal.
