Iolite Palmstone 1pc

Iolite is a stone of clarity, intuition and guidance. It helps us to feel and connect to hope when life seems like its spiralling out of control. This stone promotes peace, calm and tranquility and can aid in sleep and meditation.

lolite is the trade name given to the blue/violet variety of cordierite, a magnesium, aluminium silicate mineral. Fine Iolite can display a deep blue-violet through to a pale blue-violet colour with some more vivid stones challenging the likes of Tanzanite. This colour, derived from iron, is naturally occurring and cannot be enhanced by man, unlike other blue-hued rivals from inexpensive Blue Topaz through to the finest blue Sapphires where treatments are often essential to alter colour and clarity to a more desirable and saleable level. The lack of consistency with Iolite’s colour and with no current treatments available to correct it is possibly a contributeing factor to its lack of popularity within the industry.

Unearthed in metamorphic and igneous rocks, Iolite can be found in various locations around the world, Sri Lanka, India, Tanzania and Australia being the most prominent. With a hardness of 7- 7.5 on the Mohs scale is suitable for rings as well as other forms of jewellery and is often an affordable substitute for Tanzanite and Sapphire when rich colour and clarity are present.

At Uluna, we are deeply committed to offering crystals that are not only beautiful but also ethically sourced and of the highest quality. Ethical sourcing means ensuring that the crystals we provide are mined under fair conditions, respecting both the environment and the workers involved. We also recognise that many crystals undergo processes like cutting and polishing in  factories far away from their mined locations, so we remain diligent about maintaining our integrity throughout the supply chain sourcing locally and directly where possible.

Our dedication to quality is upheld by our in-house gemmologist, who brings over 15 years of expertise to every piece we offer. Each crystal is carefully tested, correctly identified, and certified as natural, with any treatments fully disclosed.
