Natural Iolite Oval Cut -Iolite-
Thank you for visiting our shop from among the many others.
A transparent, blue-purple iolite
It is a beautiful piece with almost no inclusions, but there is a small chip on the side that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
☆Origin of the name : The name "iolite" comes from the Greek words "ios" (purple) and "lithos" (stone). The name comes from the beautiful blue-purple color of the stone.
☆Pleochroism : Iolite has strong pleochroism, which means that different colors appear depending on the viewing angle. For example, when viewed from the front, it may appear blue or purple, but when viewed from a different angle, it may appear yellow or gray. This characteristic is particularly pronounced depending on the cut of the gemstone.
☆ "Viking Compass" : Iolite is also known as the "Viking Compass". According to legend, Vikings used this stone to determine the position of the sun even on cloudy days and to decide the direction of their voyages. This is because iolite's pleochroism allows it to distinguish the polarization of the sun's light.
☆ Origin : The main production areas are India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Brazil, Tanzania, etc.
Indian iolite is especially known for its beautiful blue-purple color.
☆Hardness and durability : Iolite has a Mohs hardness of 7 to 7.5, making it relatively hard and suitable for everyday jewelry, but it is not particularly hard, so some care must be taken when handling it.
☆Spiritual meaning : In a spiritual sense, iolite is said to enhance inner wisdom and insight, and is considered a stone that supports spiritual growth and self-understanding.
