Very pretty natural hand faceted Iolite pear shaped briolettes with exquisite colour and sparkle. Sold in sets of five, the beads measure 8x6mm. Stunning beads.

Iolite is a silicate of magnesium and aluminium and is pleochroic- which means it lookks different from different directions as the light shines through it. It's a stunning, natural blue stone full of interest.
