Iolite

Iolite moves between violet-blue, blue, and softer gray or yellow as the angle changes. Hand-wrapped in our Nashville studio, it rewards a second look with color that never sits still.

Color: Violet-blue and inky blue, shifting toward gray, yellow, or nearly colorless at angles.
Family: The gem variety of cordierite; its crystal structure lets it show different colors from different angles.
Wear: 7–7.5 on the Mohs scale; scratch-resistant, but a hard blow can split it along a weaker crystal direction.
A little history: Iolite takes its name from the Greek ios, meaning violet; mineralogists more often call the gem cordierite.
