Stichtite is another one of those stones that's "in" right now, so the price is stupid high. They are pretty, though.

Go figure ... Sugilite is getting more rare by the day, yet it's more reasonable right now than it's been in a long time.

To me it looks like that artificial wonderstone, only it's purple. Very good looking, anyway. Adrian
