Sugilite
Stretchy bracelet made with 8mm sugilite stones. The mineral’s name is pronounced erroneously more often than correctly, usually with a soft “g” as in “gene” when it should be pronounced with a hard “g” as in “geese.” (soo-gi-lyt). This interesting raspberry purple stone is easy to enjoy.
Anecdotal accounts: Sugilite promotes an understanding of the mind/body connection and how illness and disease may result from chronic stress, emotional turmoil and lack of love. Its energy is believed to bring the nerve centers and brain hemispheres into balance, calming the senses and energetically releasing tension, fear, and psychosomatic disease. It is thought to relieve emotional disturbances and psychiatric disorders, neurotransmitter glitches, or brain malfunctions such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, epilepsy, and motor dysfunction. It is a good stone for those suffering from paranoia, schizophrenia, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Sugilite has also been used to bring support for autism and Asperger’s syndrome, and to relieve insomnia and sleep disturbance.

Manganese within Sugilite helps absorb negative energy and is an excellent pain reliever, especially for headaches, joint pain and discomfort. It may be beneficial for fighting off viruses and inflammation, and is one of the premier stones to aid in the treatments of cancer by lifting despair, calming emotions, and channeling healing energy into the body.
