Iolite Water Sapphire
Discovery of Iolite
Cordierite mineral
had been known to occur in metamorphic rocks in the cores of Wyoming
mountain ranges. In 1996, the gem variety of this mineral was started to refer
as Iolite and was discovered in Wyoming. Sometimes this gem also referred to
as 'dichroite'. The quest of iolite in Wyoming was made when the
author began an impassable search for the gemstone Ruby in an ancient rock
known as ‘vermiculite schist’ that is sometimes referred to as glimmerite
by geologists.
Nomenclature and Pleochroic nature
Like many
other stones Iolite is also named according to its color, an Indo-European
family of languages has an independent branch called Greek language; iolite
came from a Greek word “ios” which means violet.
It has a
noticeable pleochroic nature. Iolite that appear violet exhibits light violet,
dark violet, and yellow-brown colors, when seen from different angles. Bluish
iolite exhibits colorless to yellow, blue-gray, sometimes dark violet colors.
From optic angles a bluish iolite can actually appear entirely colorless or
yellow, and a violetish iolite can even look brown.
