Sugilite is a rare mineral and a gemstone best known for its vibrant pink to purple colors.  Sugilite is a sodium potassium lithium silicate mineral.  The composition of sugilite varies because iron, manganese, and aluminum can substitute for one another. This makes the color and other properties of sugilite variable.  Sugilite was first discovered in 1944. It did not enter the gem and jewelry market until 1979, after commercial quantities of gemstone-quality sugilite were found at the Wessels Mine in South Africa.
