Iolite Large Nuggets 20-35mm STR

These iolite large nuggets, ranging from 20–35mm and strung for easy use, bring genuine semi-precious gemstone character to statement-scale work. Iolite — also known as cordierite — is a naturally occurring mineral prized for its shifting blue-purple tones, and each nugget's irregular shape means no two pieces on the strand are alike.

Iolite's color moves between violet and smoky blue depending on the light and angle, giving each nugget a depth that shifts as it catches light.

What to make with them

At this size range, these nuggets are built for focal work — think single-strand necklaces where one or two stones carry the whole design, or knotted pieces on leather and waxed cord where the chunky, organic silhouette does the talking. They also work well wired into bold chandelier earrings or as the centerpiece drop in a mixed-gemstone collar.
