2.13 ct Blue Iolite - Oval

At 2.13 carats, this iolite from Brazil carries its blue color through an oval cut, measuring 10.8 x 7.0 x 4.4 mm.

Iolite shifts from violet-blue to near-colorless as you turn it, a pleochroism so strong that Viking navigators are said to have used it to find the sun. Brazil has been one of the most prolific colored-gemstone sources in the world for a century, and still turns up new material on a regular basis. It carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground.

This is a real, natural iolite you can wear without a second thought, the genuine article at an easy size. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
