This extraordinary 43.69 carat Natural Iolite (also known as Water Sapphire) is a museum-quality masterpiece — one of the finest examples of this rare gem type available anywhere in the world. Certified by GIA, this stone displays a vivid deep blue-violet color that effortlessly shifts between hues with mesmerizing brilliance, exceptional luster, and scintillating fire.

This gem’s flawless clarity and precision cut rival the finest Tanzanites and Blue Sapphires, yet Iolite remains far rarer at this size and quality. The only known larger gem-quality Iolite (around 20 carats larger) resides in the Smithsonian Museum, though this specimen boasts superior color, cut, and clarity.

A true collector’s treasure, this Iolite would make an awe-inspiring heirloom centerpiece or a museum-grade addition to any world-class gemstone collection.
