Re: TUCSON ACQUISITIONS - Chinese Agate Eye Beads -- Beadman | Post Reply | Edit | Forum | Where am I? |
When I went inside, I found this was the Sugilite Company, and that they specialized in this gorgeous mineral that many people have come to love over the past couple of decades. I own a few sugilite beads, but not many. I was attracted to a few necklaces they offered for sale, that consisted of pale-colored material. This is perhaps not "the best" sugilite, but the colors are, at eye level, very easy to appreciate for being violet. (A lot of "good" sugilite is rather dark in tone, although it's also very intensely violet.) So I bought one of these.
Details next.
