This iolite is just stunning - the large hematite inclusions produce a wonderful iridescence.  Gemmologists will appreciate the hematite platelets, while jewellers will love how unusual it looks!  You may be wondering why it is such a deep cut - if it was cut shallower you would lose some of the inclusions which give it its incredible character!

A special gemstone suitable for the collector or the jeweller looking for something a little different.
