Uses: Sugilite is a powerful healing stone. The deep magenta stones may be used to heal painful emotions arising from repressed moodiness, hurt, resentment and anger. Streaked with green, Sugilite further soothes the untamed aspects of the instinctual nature, engendering forgiveness and protection. There are some indications that Sugilite can help
ease the discomfort of migraine headaches when placed on the third eye or at the base of the skull. Polished Sugilite points are excellent transformational tools for releasing old habit patterns.
As Sugilite evolves, it will prove to be the most effective medicine in the alternative treatment of cancer as well as AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Sugilite is highly compatible with Turquoise, Red Coral, Onyx, Chrysoprase and Abalone.
