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 AND OTHERS FOR NAVIGATION.

ITEM: IOLITE / WATER SAPPHIRE

.75 CTW GEMSTONE

SHAPE: EMERALD

TREATMENT: NONE

ORIGIN: SRI LANKA

MOHS: 7 - 7.5

COLOR: 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.

VS VERY slight inclusion seen with x10 magnification loupe

Color is sensational, deep purple, this is a great tanzanite substitute for those who love Tanzanite and do not want to pay 3000.00 a carat for top color gems! We have larger sizes and can list them for you also.  Iolite offers this color! a beautiful color. And Iolite has a great history as water sapphire and the usage by the Vikings for passage in the ships they used!  Iolite Has strong pleochroism, meaning the gemstone changes colors depending on which angle it is viewed from. Cordierite displays colors ranging from deep blue to violet and light blue and grayish blue. It can be confused with (Tanzanite / zoisite) which is also strongly pleochroic.    This gem was called a water sapphire and Vikings' compass, because of its ability to determine the direction of the sun on overcast days.
