These fascinating stones join together the distinctive violet-blue of Iolite with reflective platelets of hematite. This is a gorgeous example; the color of the Iolite is great, the platelets are oriented superbly well and the size would be very easy to use. The reflected colors are quite dazzling - and even when in non-reflecting light, the ‘bloodshot’ Iolite look of reddish hematite against the violet bodycolor is attractive and intriguing. Great cutting and quality.
