Buyer's guide
Iolite
Iolite's most valued color is a saturated violet to blue. Inclusions usually lower its value.
Design with iolite
Before the cut
From rough stone to custom jewelry
Iolite rough looks plain grey until the cut reveals its violet-blue light. We design pieces that show that color from every angle. Tell us if iolite caught your eye and we will start your design.
What to look for
Vivid violet to blue. The cutter orients it so the best color faces up.
Eye clean is most valuable. Rare cat's-eye stones are loved by collectors.
Turn it and the color shifts from violet blue to near colorless. Iolite is not typically treated.
Found in a good range of sizes.
