Iolite is a lovely indigo color and is also referred to as Cordierite, Dichroite, and Indialite. It is a silicate of magnesium and aluminum. Its name is derived from the Greek word ‘ios’, which means violet, and pertains to the gemstone’s violet color. We also carry a small version of them with a shot ear wire - see last picture for comparison)
