Natural Violet Iolite 1.32ct 7mm Round Cut

A rich blue-violet round cut with noticeably deep colour saturation for iolite at this size. The girdle shows vivid blue-violet while the table is slightly lighter, reflecting the stone's strong pleochroism. Needle-like inclusions are visible within the body on close inspection. The overall impression is a lively, well-saturated blue-purple. SI clarity, untreated.

A naturally coloured, untreated iolite from Tanzania in a standard 7mm round. The deeper saturation makes this a strong choice for jewellery use - it holds its colour well in a setting. Suitable for a bezel, tension, or four-prong mount. A cost-effective option for those drawn to deep blue-violet tones who want a natural, untreated stone.
