Description: PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION IN ENTIRETY BEFORE PURCHASING OR ASKING QUESTIONS... Thank you!! Available here is this GORGEOUS dichroic Iolite (Cordierite) cut by me from gem grade rough from Tanzania displaying a beautiful violet-blue color hue. Exceptional face-up appearance and very gemmy eye appeal. IOLITE INFO: It is not very hard to find gem quality Iolite that are cut in large size gems that can achieve 4 to 5 carats per gem. However, these larger Iolite gemstones are getting to be much harder (pretty much scarce per ce) as demand increases, and it has. The rising cost for Tanzanite is one reason for the rising cost for Iolite gemstones. Iolite is more durable compared to Tanzanite, thus why Iolite jewelry has a better long-term durability as compared to Tanzanite jewelry. Now, for buyers without any in-depth knowledge of gemstones, Iolite would seem to be quite familiar (especially in color depth) to Tanzanite, and many people, in fact, mistake Iolite for Tanzanite. Iolite is a transparent gem-quality variety of Cordierite, a magnesium iron aluminum cyclosilicate mineral. From one direction, Iolite can appear Sapphire-like blue, and from another, it can appear as clear as water. Furthermore, from the top view down, it can appear light golden or honey-yellow in color. 'Dichroite' is another synonym for Iolite in reference to its pleochroic ability; 'dichroite' is a Greek word that loosely translates as 'two-colored rock' DIMENSIONS: 0.50ct / 8 5mm pendeloque (pear-shape) with very eye clean clarity (clarity achieved through 10X loupe and 10X darkfield illumination inspection). $21 I DO OFFER COMBINED SHIPPING FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS, HOWEVER, EBAY DOES NOT OFFER THIS APPLICATION BUT ONLY THROUGH REFUNDING THROUGH YOUR PAYMENT....
