This cushion-cut iolite loose gemstone will capture attention with its rich and unique hue. The 8x6mm gemstone is mined in Sri Lanka and has a sparkling faceted cut and a weight of nearly one carat. Iolite's deep liquidy blue color is enlivened with a subtle trace of purple for a very distinctive look. This beautiful gemstone gets its name from the Greek word ios, meaning "violet." Iolite is a durable gemstone, suitable for all kinds of jewelry settings. To maintain this gemstone's beauty, clean it periodically with warm, soapy water, avoiding harsh detergents and ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
