Sugilite is known as “the love stone for this age” according to Melody, the author of the metaphysical crystal bible entitled “Love is in the Earth”. A rich purple stone found in South Africa, sugilite is relatively new on the market. The bracelet above has sugilite as the center stone with amethysts all around.
Sugilite provides a comforting energy, flowing from the crown of the head down to the base chakra. I think of all purple stones as stones of royalty, inviting us to access higher source energy to help navigate the physical trials of the earth plane. Try meditating with sugilite to help answer the question “why am I here”?
I generally refer to my turquoise either by the state it is from, in this case Nevada, or by the name of the mine. The term “boulder turquoise” refers to the fact that the turquoise is still in it’s boulder, or rock matrix, rather than just being a nugget of turquoise. Cut stones from “boulder turquoise” are also sometimes called “ribbon turquoise” when the turquoise vein is flanked by contrasting matrix stone creating what looks like a ribbon of turquoise through the stone. 
I love when I get the opportunity to purchase stones directly from the miners. I purchased all these stones from the Otteson family who regularly set up a booth at both the Denver and Tucson Gem shows each year. The Ottesons have been mining turquoise from the Royston region for over 60 years.
