Stone Identification Notice The stone was visually identified with AI as Iolite. This identification is based on photo analysis only and is not a gemological laboratory certificate or guarantee. IdentificationIolite Confidencehigh Estimated Retail ValueApprox. retail value: US$100-250 (for a sterling silver earring pair with natural iolite, value varies by stone size and silver weight) ReasonThe stones have a medium-deep blue to violet-blue color, which is characteristic of iolite. The faceted oval cut and high transparency suggest a natural gemstone rather than glass or a synthetic substitute. The luster is notably glassy, and there are subtle flashes of violet in the light. Tanzanite is a possible lookalike due to the similar color range, but tanzanite typically shows a more violet to purplish tone with higher brilliance. Amethyst is another blue/violet stone but is generally a lighter purple. Synthetic sapphire could be another substitute, but the specific bluish-violet tone and softer look suggest iolite.
