I had never heard of iolite before I made this gemstone set, but it is quite interesting. The gemstone site calls iolite the gem of the Vikings. The gem can be violet, blue, clear or yellow depending on the angle. The hue is different because the gem polarizes light. You can read more about it at
gemstone.org.
