Metaphysical properties:

Sugilite reminds us of the connection between mind and body and that it needs to be strengthened from time to time. It offers a sense of calmness and understanding, warding off stale energy and replacing it with a cleaner and purified air.

 

In terms of chakra work, sugilite can be used as a tool to aid the flow of energy from the crown right down to the base chakra, opening any blocked energy zones as it flows. It's also useful for third eye work, in particular when you're trying to activate or open it.
