ABC Wednesday - W


ABC Wednesday has reached the letter
W
This gave me a bit of trouble, but I don't give up easily, and so today I offer
Iolite, or
Water Sapphire
(link here)
Water Sappire is a greyish blue, sometimes clear, stone that changes colour according to the angle from which it is viewed, although my photos don't show this.
My specimen is a small tumble polished stone, only 2cm long. Larger crystals are very beautiful.

ABC Wednesday is the wonderful idea of Denise Nesbitt.

More W posts can be found on the no-comment Anthology, and through the Linky page.
