Old Pale Lavender Ioun Stones without the listed "Suppressed Power" effect could still be upgraded in January 2012 (others, such as the Incandescent Blue Ioun Stone cannot be upgraded if they do not have the "Suppressed Power" effect; not sure if old PLIS can be upgraded currently). Ioun Stones are more common now, as 1 of the 10 types will always appear in the end rewards list for The Dreaming Dark (quest) every 3 completions, and have a chance to appear on every completion.

The Pale Green Ioun Stone is not upgradeable.
