Iolite quality is assessed based on several factors, including colour, clarity, and cut.
The most prized specimens display a rich violet-blue hue, with stones appearing washed out or too pale being less desirable. As a Type II gemstone, iolite often contains minor inclusions, though high-quality stones are typically eye-clean, meaning they lack visible inclusions without magnification.
The finest gems, often graded as AAA quality, exhibit excellent clarity and deep, well-saturated colour. Due to iolite’s strong pleochroism, which causes it to show different colours from various angles, expert cutting is crucial to enhancing its visual appeal and minimizing inclusions. Larger stones can be valuable only if they maintain superior colour and clarity.
