Sugilite
Sugilite is a powerfully protective crystal, bringing psychic protection whilst aiding clairsentience and connection to Masters and Archangels. It also hold the energy of the Violet Flame and in particular links us to Archangel Tzaphkiel. It clears the energy system for the love of the Divine to come in.
In Atlantis, the Eye Tower was made of Sugilite which enabled the Priests and Priestesses cloistered there to keep out negative energies and to keep their connection high in order to fulfil their service of receiving the highest guidance for others.
It also helps to coordinate our left and right hemispheres of the brain and helps those sensitive to energies.
No new finds have been made for some time and it is therefore rare and has become very expensive!
It is characterised by vivid mauve/purple within black and can also contain blues and pinks.
