Iolite has been worn for centuries and derives its name from \u201cIos\u201d – the Greek word for violet.<\/p>\n

Iolite is very affordable and durable, and can be used as a substitute for more expensive blue \u00a0gemstones<\/span><\/a>\u00a0such as Sapphire.<\/p>\n

Read about iolite here<\/a>
\nLike a crisp, dark winter sky, Iolite, in shifting shades of violet-blue carries the spirit of journey, of dreams and intuition, of exploration and illumination. It is known as the Vikings’ Compass, and provides the vision to move us, physically and spiritually, from one realm to the next.<\/p>\n

Leif Eriksson and other Viking explorers who ventured far out into the Atlantic Ocean, away from any coastline that would help determine position, used thin pieces of Iolite as the world’s first polarizing filter. Looking through an Iolite lens, they could determine the exact location of the sun and navigate safely to the New World and back.<\/p>\n

A property called pleochroism is very pronounced in Iolite, producing different colors when the stone is seen through different positions. Overall, Iolite appears as violet-blue or indigo, but in different positions may shift to a yellow-gray or honey color, and even to a clear light blue. It is also referred to as “Water Sapphire” or Dichroite.<\/p>\n

Iolite resonates with the Third Eye Chakra.<\/p>\n

It is believed to:
\n– clear thought forms and open intuition.
\n– aid in understanding and releasing causes of addiction.
\n– help with the expression of true self.
\n– free the wearer from expectations of others.
\n– help overcome codependency within relationships.<\/p>\n
