Iolite Mineral Specimen Iolite Gemstone

Iolite is another name for the mineral cordierite. Transparent specimens of iolite can show strong pleochrism with blue-violet colors changing to nearly colorless as you turn the iolite in different directions.

Iolite has also been known as water-sapphire and also as dichroite in reference to iolite's strong pleochrism.

Be sure to see our Iolite Gemstones page.

We have iolite gemstones that were mined in tanzania and also some from India.

Our selection of iolite rough specimens also were mined at these same locations.

See our natural color iolite spheres and iolite linghams. They were handcrafted from large pieces of natural iolite rough that was found in India.
