The value of sugilit
Sugilite, known as the national treasure of South Africa, is produced in small rock beads of aegirine syenite. Its main component is silicon oxide, which contains many metal elements such as potassium, sodium, iron and lithium. The price of sphalerite is higher than that of amethyst and topaz. As a new gem material in the jewelry market, its gem mineralogy is still blank in the research field.
According to the routine inspection of gemstones, diorite samples are aggregate jade, mostly blue, purple and brown, with delicate structure. Through the analysis of electron probe and X- ray powder diffraction, it is considered that the main mineral composition of sphalerite sample is sphalerite, and it also contains impurity minerals such as silica muscovite, aegirine and timing.
