AAA-grade iolite rondelles at 3 mm sit alongside gold-plated brass accents along the strand, their blue-violet moving between indigo, steel grey, and deep purple depending on the angle and the light. This optical phenomenon, called pleochroism, is unique to iolite and means the necklace is genuinely never quite the same twice. At 40 cm with a 4 cm extension, it sits at a length that rewards wearing against bare skin, where the full subtlety of the stone's colour shifts can be appreciated in motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIolite: The Viking's Compass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIolite has been used by human beings for far longer than most people realise. Ancient Viking navigators are believed to have used thin slices of iolite as a polarising filter to locate the sun on overcast days, allowing them to determine direction even when the sky was obscured. Its name comes from the Greek word for violet, and the finest specimens are found in Sri Lanka, India, and Tanzania. The stone's pleochroism, its ability to display completely different colours from different viewing angles, makes it one of the most visually unusual gemstones in the mineral world. Where most stones have one colour, iolite has three: it can appear deep indigo, pale blue-grey, or near-colourless depending on the direction from which it is observed. A necklace that changes in the light is not a gimmick. In iolite, it is a geological fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWearing ZALEA Iolite\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis necklace is particularly beautiful in daylight, where the full range of iolite's colour shifts is most visible.
