Dumortierite belongs to the silicate class of minerals, and boasts a deep violet to blue colour. In rare cases this stone may also be found in pink and brown varieties. Dumortierite forms in prismatic crystals or a massive form, which will cause variations on the stone’s opaquancy, with crystals ringing to translucent or transparent, while the more common massive form is typically opaque. This may lead to it being misidentified as other stones, like sodalite or lapis lazuli. Dumortierite is named for the French paleontologist Eugene Dumortier, who discovered the stone in the Rhône-Alps of France in 1881. Each bead is skillfully polished individually, then drilled to create this bracelet. Connected with jewellery elastic, this bracelet stretches to fit. Perfect for stacking with other bracelets or just to wear on its own. A must-have staple for any jewellery box. This piece contains authentic stones, and no two are exactly alike. The item you receive may have slight variations from the one photographed.
