Ethically Sourced Sunstone Iolite

Know where your crystals come from

This Sunstone Iolite comes from artisanal miners near Karur, Tamil Naidu, India. It is mined in tandem with pure Iolite, most likely in narrow shafts which have a low environmental impact.

This lapidary hand-polishes stones in Mumbai, India. It is owned by two long-time friends and business partners. Unusual for India, factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. It is also an exporter and sells exclusively at large gem shows.

I first met this source at the 2017 Denver Gem Show. Our first encounter was short since it was my last day of shopping and I had already spent most of my budget, but their polished stock was the highest quality I had ever seen. A few months later, we met again in Tucson and this time I made sure to visit them at the beginning of the show!

In 2019, I was able to sit down with both owners and have a lengthy conversation about sourcing. Unlike most lapidaries, they were willing to speak with me in-depth about how they ensure their business is ethical. We talked about individual mines in India as well as how they source from other countries. We also talked about how they treat their own workers and about the links between business, karma, and God. Their willingness to talk and their pleasure at the conversation made me eager to develop and deepen this relationship.

Sunstone Iolite Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published June 2021  •  Updated February 2023  •  Read Time: 7 minutes
Sunstone Iolite, or Iolite Sunstone, is one of the newer healing crystals on the market.  It became popular in 2016 after a deposit in Tamil Nadu, India began to sell the striking blue and orange gem.  The mines normally focus on pure blue Iolite.  Mixed with the orange Sunstone, it could have been ignored as lower quality, but happily it was polished and found to be beautiful in its own right. It combines the warm happy-go-lucky energy of Sunstone with the cooler wisdom and clarity of Iolite.  Together they make a remarkable talisman that helps us to to see useful possibilities where other people might only see frustrating limitations.
