Sugilite is a rare potassium sodium lithium iron manganese cyclosilicate that typically occurs in massive form with rich purple to magenta color. Gem-quality material is usually opaque to translucent, showing solid or mottled purples sometimes mixed with black, white or brown matrix. With Mohs hardness about 6–6.5 and generally good toughness when compact, it is suitable for cabochons, beads and carvings.
