Deep violet sugilite (舒俱来, shu ju lai) in a crisp cubie cut: eighteen blocks of royal purple, each face flat and clean, spaced by gold-colored discs (gold in color, not in claim). Sugilite is the youngest stone in the catalog, mined in one region of South Africa, and its purple runs from lilac to near-black. This strand sits at the vivid end. See Other Precious & Semi-Precious Stones for its material family.
Meaning: Sugilite is sold as a stone of calm and spiritual protection. The traditions are modern and affectionate rather than ancient - the stone itself was only described in 1944.
Scent: None. Stone gives no scent; that's part of its quiet.
Feel: Cool and smooth across the flat faces, crisp at the cut edges. Cubes roll differently than rounds: a deliberate, blocky glide under your thumb.
