This pendant has a sweet little sterling silver crown, an iolite and freshwater pearl. |
Iolite is a hydrous magnesium and aluminium silicate, with ferrous iron partially replacing magnesium. |
It is a pseudomorph after iolite, and consists mainly of hydrous aluminium silicate. |
Kenya also produces economic quantities of amethyst, iolite and aquamarine. |
Iolite has a remarkable feature known as pleochroism, meaning the colour changes when viewed from different directions, usually dark blue-violet, pale-blue, grey or yellow. |
It is rich in texture and style, made from sterling silver and iolite fine stones. |
