Known as the Water Sapphire, or the Stone of the
Muses, because of its ability to unlock visions and unleash creativity.
STORY
Iolite is
named after the Greek word "ios," meaning violet. The rich purple-y
to blue hues of Iolite earned this gemstone the nickname of water sapphire.
Iolite is sometimes referred to as the
Viking's compass. This gemstone is a light polarizer that helped Viking sailors
navigate when the sun was hidden by clouds. An Iolite lens enabled Vikings to
determine the position of the sun even on overcast days, making it possible for
them to navigate longer and further than before.
Like 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.
