Iolite, also known as "water sapphire," is a gemstone prized for its distinct pleochroism, displaying different colors when viewed from various angles. Typically exhibiting shades of blue, violet, and gray, it offers a captivating visual experience. With a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, iolite is relatively durable. Historically used by Viking navigators as a compass, it remains a unique and appealing gemstone. Its rich, deep blues and violet tones make it a beautiful alternative to more common blue gemstones.
