YOURGIFTSTOP PRESENTS A PURPLE IOLITE GEMSTONE!
I LIKE TO CALL IT THE GREAT PRETENDER... SINCE THE GEMSTONE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE TANZANITE!  I AM SURE MANY PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT IOLITE THINKING IT WAS TANZANITE!  THIS GEMSTONE HAS BEEN USED FOR JEWELRY AND ALSO USED BY THE VIKINGS FOR TRAVEL, THEY USED THIS NATURAL GEMSTONE FOR NAVIGATION UPON THE OCEANS. THIS TEHNIQUE IS STILL KNOWN TODAY.

ITEM - IOLITE / WATER SAPPHIRE

WEIGHT - .50 CTW GEMSTONE

SHAPE - OVAL

SIZE - 7 X 5 X 3.2 MM

TREATMENT - NONE IOLITE IS NOT TREATED.

ORIGIN - SRI LANKA

MOHS - 7 - 7.5

CLARITY - VS - VERY SLIGHT INCLUSION SEEN WITH X10 LOUPE

COLOR - DEEP BLUISH PURPLE

GREAT COLORS, IOLITE CAN BE USED AS A TANZANITE SUBSTITUTE!!

SAME BEAUTIFUL COLOR AND UNDER UV LIGHT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE A BLUE SAPPHIRE.  IOLITE IS TRICHROIC WHICH MEANS THAT YOU CAN SEE THREE DIFFERENT COLORS IN THE SAME GEM,  DEPENDING UPON THE ANGLE OF THE GEMSTONE.
