━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💙 Naturally Beautiful Blue-Violet Tones

Iolite is loved for its distinctive cool-toned appearance. These strands may display shades of:

💙 Blue & deep blue
💜 Violet-blue & lavender
🩶 Smoky gray
🖤 Dark charcoal
🤎 Occasional earthy mineral tones
✨ Translucent to more included areas

The color and clarity naturally vary from bead to bead, giving the strands an organic gemstone appearance rather than a perfectly uniform color.

✨ Beautiful Faceted Cut

Each bead has multiple polished facets that reflect light from different angles, giving the strand more sparkle and texture than traditional smooth round beads.

The smaller 4mm size is especially useful for delicate designs, while the 6mm and 7mm sizes work beautifully as primary beads in bracelets and necklaces.
