Sugilite, pronounced with a hard "g" sound as in "geese", is a rare mineral indeed. Sugilite is a silicate mineral with potassium, sodium, iron, lithium, aluminum and manganese, which gives it its purple color.
Even more rare is a 15cm diameter sphere weighing 5kg and with no white patches. There are some scratches as it is part of a private collection.
