This batch of faceted Iolite has good blue tones, as shown. These hand cut and hand faceted beads are not as uniform in cut, shape & faceting as the better grade Iolite we carry, but the price is much more approachable. There will be some variation in size and shape on each strand, and some beads may not be drilled through the center. Beads range from 3.8mm to 4.2mm in diameter. Strands are 13.5 to 14 inches long.
Very unusual carved leaf drops are made from Iolite in a fairly deep shade of 'Montana' Blue. Note that the carving style varies depending on the size of the drop.
