Particularly special is its pronounced pleochroism: Depending on the viewing angle, the stone changes between deep blue-violet and a pale gray-yellow. Because of its sapphire-blue color, it also bears the nickname water sapphire, although it has nothing to do with corundum mineralogically. Main find sites include Madagascar, India, and Sri Lanka.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I properly care for my iolite bracelet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eWith a Mohs hardness of 7 to 7.5, iolite is quite robust, but cannot withstand impacts against hard edges. A quick rinse under clear water is no problem, but you should avoid prolonged soaking and ultrasonic baths. Strong, continuous sunlight can cause the color to fade slightly over time, so it is best to store the bracelet protected from light. Energetically, you charge it gently in the moonlight or next to a singing bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I recognize real iolite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eThe surest sign of real iolite is pleochroism: If you turn the stone in the light, the color visibly changes from blue-violet to a lighter gray shade. Artificial imitations made of colored glass or synthetic spinel do not show this effect and often appear uniformly colored. Natural beads also have minimal color differences from bead to bead, which is usually missing in mass-produced glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhat distinguishes iolite from a real sapphire?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eEven though iolite is called water sapphire because of its color, it belongs to a completely different mineral group than corundum sapphire. Iolite is significantly softer and therefore more affordable, but in return offers its own lively color change, which a sapphire does not show in this form. For everyday jewelry, it is still well suited due to its hardness of 7 to 7.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant more? 👉 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.happy-minerals.business\/search?q=iolith\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\" title=\"Buy Iolite at Happy Minerals\"\u003eDiscover all iolite at Happy Minerals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive a very similar bracelet to the one in the photo. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eDecorative items not included in the delivery\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e📸 My photos are taken in bright studio light to show you every detail.
