Tapered Cut Iolite

Iolite is named after the Greek word "ios," meaning violet. The rich purple-y to blue hues of iolite earned this gemstone the nickname of water sapphire. Only officially named in 1912, iolite still was loved and valued by cultures throughout history.  This iolite is a beautiful deep violet in a very unique cut.
