IOLITE
DID YOU KNOW
A blue-violet gemstone whose name comes from the Greek ios, meaning violet, and lithos, meaning 'stone'. Sometimes referred to as 'Water Sapphire', the scientific name of this beautiful gemstone is Cordierite, in honour of the French geologist Pierre L.A. Cordier.
Iolite exhibits strong pleochroism, showing different colours when viewed from different angles – it can appear colourless when viewed across the crystal while the best blue is seen down the length of the crystal.
IOLITE: A BRIEF HISTORY
Iolite has an important place in history as the Norse explorer Leif Ericson and his Viking adventurers used thin pieces of the gemstone as the world's first polarizing filter. Due to its strong pleochroism they were able to use iolite as a lens, resulting in them determining the exact position of the sun, and ultimately navigate their path to safety.
MEANING BEHIND THE STONE
It is believed to assist in detoxifying the body, and crystal healers are known to use iolite to help treat addictions.
Iolite is also thought to enhance curiosity and help in building relationships, while aiding spiritual insight, and helping one view an issue from both sides clearly.
