Sugilite cab ~
Offered here is an cabochon of sugilite, from the Wessels mine near Kuramen, South Africa. This manganese gem features an gorgeous reddish-purple coloration, in an unusual nodular pattern, akin to webbing. No, it's not the gemmy gel material few of us can find or afford, but it's definitely beautiful nonetheless, with a few hints of a more bluish-purple hue at one edge. One thing I like about sugilite, other than the delightful color, is that it looks equally terrific in either silver or gold. The cab has a well rounded dome of 4mm, a long designer 'spear' shape, and an excellent polish both front and back.
Size: 57x20mm
