Iolite is a semi-precious stone with a hardness of 7-7.5 on Mohs scale of mineral hardness. It is usually confused with Tanzanite but its properties are very diverse. People often consider it as an auspicious gemstone to be gifted on twenty-first marriage anniversary. It gives immense confidence and strengthens the wearer to undertake tasks and responsibilities. The transparent form of this stone is used in jewels and those which are not clear are used in the ceramic industry.

Iolite History, Usage and Other Details

Iolite is violet in color and it gets its name from the Greek word “ios” which means “violet”. It was believed that the Vikings used slices of this beautiful stone to reduce the glare and locate the sun while they were traveling. It comes from the Cordierite family and displays pleochroism which is a rare quality in gemstones. This semi-precious stone radiates different colors from different angles with polarized light and this property is known as “pleochroism”. The unique property has also given it names such as Water Sapphire, Dichorite, etc. When you look at the stone from one side, it looks blue like a Sapphire and it looks clear just as water when you look from the other side which gives it the name “Water Sapphire”. Dichorite means a stone with two colors which also comes from its pleochroic nature. Sometimes people even use Iolite as a substitute for Sapphire and Tanzanite.
