Gemstone chips are an economical way to enjoy the rich jewel bright color
of semi-precious gemstones, such as the iolite and tourmaline gemstone chips
in this 21" necklace. Iolite's blue-purple color is from trace iron,
and in larger gemstones, the color can appear to vary depending how the
stone is cut and viewed. Iolite is strongly pleochroic, meaning that
different light wavelengths reflect from the crystal depending on angle.
Iolite has been called "water sapphire" and it is the gemstone
associated with a 21st anniversary. Tourmaline comes from Sinhalese
tura mali meaning "unknown gemstones of mixed colors". Generally,
gemstones are known by a distinctive color, but tourmaline challenges
that presumption by showing magnificent samples across the color spectrum,
including pink, green, yellow and even blue specimens. The tourmaline chips
is this necklace go from deep pink to green in ombre color. This colorful
necklace can be worn as a single strand or multi-strand wrap bracelet.
Sterling silver lobster claw clasp.
