Iolite

About Iolite

Iolite, also known as cordierite, is valued for its deep blue to violet-blue hues and strong pleochroism, showing different colors from different angles. It is a durable and affordable alternative to sapphire. Iolite is primarily sourced from Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar, and Madagascar. Its vibrant colors and transparent quality make it a versatile gemstone for jewelry, particularly in faceted cuts.
