These earrings are dazzling works of art. These perfect Sterling Silver earrings hold rich pieces of purple Sugilite (block). Each piece of this Sugilite has been intricately hand cut and inlaid in a simple geometric pattern in shimmering channels of Sterling Silver. The inlaid pattern appears on hand cut Sterling Silver triangles. These beautiful post earrings are 1/2" long. Stamped Sterling. Imported. This pair comes from the old Apache Turquoise & Case Co. trading post. They used to be one of our main suppliers running out of Phoenix, Arizona, and after a few decades the owner decided to retire from the business.

Sugilite was discovered in southwest Japan in the year 1944 by Japanese geologist Ken-ichi Sugi, which is where Sugilite gets its name. It is a Silicate formed from Potassium, Sodium, Lithium, Iron, Manganese, and Aluminum. Many believe that since Sugilite is a fairly new discovery that it is meant to help guide us into the New Age with its mind clearing abilities for meditation. It is used to keep away anger, pain, and negative energies, it is stone meant to keep the mind, body, and spirit in a soothing balance.
