Sugilite: Gem grade sugilite is very rare and has been since it was discovered in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa in 1981. The stone was brought to the world-famous Tuscon Gem and Mineral Show a few years later where it caused much excitement including to the owner of Gathering Tribes who at that time owned a lapidary and rock shop in Californa. The highest grade of sugilies is called gem sugilite and is translucent and even more rare. There is no more new purple gem sugilite coming from Earth.
