Sugilite Bracelet · Golden Rutile Accents · 12.1mm

What does sugilite mean?

Sugilite (舒俱来) is a rare violet stone known in the trade as the Millennium Stone. In crystal tradition it's linked with spiritual growth and intuition, and it symbolises a calm, centered mood. Its purple also recalls the Chinese image 紫气东来, an old sign that good fortune is on its way.

Sugilite is a newer name in the crystal world. It became known in the crystal world near the end of the twentieth century, which is one reason it's nicknamed the Millennium Stone (千禧之石).

This piece is a single-wrap bracelet of 12.1mm sugilite beads in deep purple with blue-toned and lighter speckled beads, finished with one faceted pink-red square block bead, two clear golden rutilated quartz beads, a vintage-style rondelle set with tiny clear stones and a textured vintage-style bead.

How it compares: The 12.5mm and this 12.1mm are close in size but different pieces. This one mixes deep purple with blue-toned and speckled beads, and adds a faceted pink-red block bead and two clear golden rutile beads.

How can you tell if a sugilite bracelet is real?

Natural sugilite is opaque to slightly translucent, with uneven purple tones, darker veins or patches and some matrix. Dyed stone pools color at drill holes or cracks. Glass or resin looks too even, feels light or warms fast, or has bubbles. Sugilite is fairly rare, so a very cheap price is a warning sign.

1. Look for uneven color. Natural sugilite shows several purple tones in one strand, with darker veins, patches and some matrix. Every bead looks a little different.
2. Check the drill holes and cracks. Dye pools where it can enter: a darker ring around the drill hole or colored lines along cracks point to dyed stone.
3. Feel the weight and temperature. Natural stone feels solid and cool at first. Glass and resin imitations can feel light or warm quickly.
4. Look for bubbles. Round bubbles inside a bead are a sign of glass or resin.
5. Be wary of a very low price. Sugilite is a relatively rare stone, so a large-bead strand sold very cheaply is a warning sign.
6. Buy from a seller who describes the stone honestly. Every photo on this page shows the real bracelet.

How do I cleanse and care for a sugilite bracelet?

Cleanse sugilite with moonlight, sound, smoke or selenite rather than salt water. Avoid long, strong sun, hard knocks and chemicals such as perfume, lotion and chlorine. Store it alone in its pouch, and take it off before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping to protect the stones and the cord.

Energy cleansing (pick what feels right):

• Moonlight: Leave it on a windowsill overnight, especially during a full moon.
• Sound: Ring a singing bowl, bell or chime near the bracelet for a minute.
• Smoke: Pass it gently through the smoke of sage, palo santo or incense.
• Selenite: Rest it on a selenite plate or charging bowl overnight.

Everyday care:

• Skip salt water. Salt can dull polished stone and wears down the cord.
• Avoid long, strong sun. Strong light over time can soften deep purple tones.
• Avoid hard knocks. Take it off before sports or heavy work.
• Keep it away from chemicals: perfume, lotion, cleaning products and chlorine.
• Store it on its own in its pouch so harder stones and jewelry don't scratch it.
• Take it off before showering, swimming, exercising and sleeping. Heat, soap, chlorine and sweat wear down elastic cord over time.
• Accent care: Vintage-style accents slowly darken as their surface reacts with air, moisture and skin oils. Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store the bracelet in its pouch.
