At Moonrise Crystals we believe that there’s a crystal for every person and every situation. This Sugilite was gifted to a very special person. They were nominated by someone who loves them very much.
She’s always smiling, always laughing. She’s the type of person that children and animals instinctively trust. She’s a lover, a healer, a warrior, a giver. She’s also a tough cookie who always comes back swingin’. She’s a survivor, full of grit and glitter.
A few weeks ago, she was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer and the odds aren’t good. She’s in her first round of chemo right now. When people ask her about the future, she simply says. “If I make it, then I wish to use the rest of my life to make a difference. If I don’t, then I hope that my life has made a difference.”
A dear friend nominated her for a Feel Loved Crystal. The friend’s words are beautiful, so I’ll let her do the talking, “She has already made a huge impact on this world, whether she knows it or not. She is an example of LOVE IN ACTON. And Love is the greatest gift of all.”
Sugilite is a happy stone of love, hope, courage and freedom. It acts as a Light in the Darkness and is a powerful ally when we are faced with overwhelming challenges. Sugilite protects us from all forms of negativity and gently dissolves grief and despair. It helps us to focus our thoughts and energy in positive directions and to look for opportunities to do good in the world.

Sugilite grows in metamorphic rocks rich in black manganese. It is a stone of love, hope and acceptance. It encourages us to be true to ourselves, rather than trying to conform to match everyone else. […]
