Price & Quality

A stone's quality and worth are determined by a number of factors.

• Origin - Myanmar, India, Brazil, Madagascar, Norway, and Sri Lanka are among the countries that mine iolite. Among all of these origin types, stones from India and Madagascar are widely prized for their exceptional quality.
• Clarity - The majority of iolite crystals are transparent to translucent. Fingerprints, minerals, metallic platelets, and other visible inclusions can be found in iolite. Stones with fewer or no apparent inclusions are preferable over those with a lot of them.
• Cut - Pleochroism occurs in Iolite, which means it reveals three separate hues when viewed from different angles, making it difficult to cut. When viewed from the top, Iolite should be cut in such a way that it appears uniformly blue-violet and free of yellow colours.
• Color - Iolite crystals are trichroic, this indicates that depending on the angle from which you look at it, you can see three different hues in the same gem. When viewed from different angles, most stones appear blue to violet in colour, although they can also appear transparent, grey, or yellow. The colour on top is given the greatest weight. On top, gemstones with a continuous blue-violet colour are preferable over those with yellow or grey tints. The stones' blue-violet colour ranges from extremely light blue to darker blue, with a lovely purplish tinge. Iolite has a soft rich violet-blue tint, whilst less valued gems have a fading purple colour.
