Sugilite is a rare mineral with colors ranging from pink to deep purple. Very popular in Asia, most quality sugilite comes from mines in South Africa. The most desirable sugilite is the dark tone known as “grape jelly purple,” which is evident in this very fine adjustable ring by Verdy Jake. The stone measures 1” by 1 ¼” and is joined beautifully in Verdy’s classic sterling silver mounting.
