These fascinating stones join together the distinctive violet-blue of Iolite with reflective platelets of hematite. This is a gorgeous example with the added bonus of exceptional transparency of the Iolite host - most of these are so included as to be translucent at best. The reflected colors are quite dazzling and even when in non-reflecting light, the look is attractive and intriguing.
