Sugilite gemstones are considered quite rare due to a Scarcity of locations in which High-Quality Sugilite Material naturally forms. Their unique mineral composition & geological formation process allow them to crystallize only in a few specific locations globally. Further, gem-quality sugilite is even scarcer due to depletion of easily accessible deposits, & challenges in extraction, & environmental factors like flooding at the primary mining site, all these also have contributing to its rarity & high value.
