Blue Sugilite, sourced from the Republic of South Africa. Sugilite is known to be found in banded veins, and Blue Sugilite is what is intermixed within those veins. Therefore, in mineralogy, Blue Sugilite is actually a different mineral called "lichtenbergite." Because it is found alongside Sugilite, it is sold as Blue Sugilite, and has become a stone with special value. The price of this blue-colored stone is currently soaring. The reason is due to rumors circulating in Asia, where it is processed, claiming it can cure illnesses. Its popularity has reignited, and there are even requests to buy back the pieces sold to Japan at a higher price per gram... Even now, after the global pandemic has subsided, the situation hasn't changed much, and coupled with the weak yen, it is being traded at several times the price per gram compared to before the pandemic. This is a bracelet made by stringing together tumbled bead fragments of the popular Sugilite. Since round beads cost over 10,000 yen per gram, please consider these tumbled beads instead :-) (Number of beads) Omitted for tumbled beads (Weight) Approximately 15g (Size) Approximately 7-9 x 2-4 mm (Wrist Circumference) 16.5-17cm (A size that can be worn by most men) ※ Since this stone originally contains a mixture of various minerals, there are beads that also contain manganese, quartz, and crystal. Please consider this before purchasing. Shipping will be via Mercari delivery. Tracking number included. Please note that I may not be able to respond during the weekdays. I will reply in the evening, so please comment if you have any questions. ・Manganese Sugilite ・Power Stone #MorinoIshiyaSugilite ← By stone #MorinoIshiyaBracelet ← By item #MorinoIshiyaBlue ← By color #MorinoIshiya ← All products
