Scientific Facts
Iolite is the gemstone variety of cordierite, a magnesium iron aluminum cyclosilicate mineral named after the French geologist Cordier. As with some other blue gemstones, iolite is known for its pleochroic properties. Pleochroism is an optical phenomenon where the gemstone appears to be different colors depending on the angle and light source. Polarized light especially displays iolite's pleochroism. Because of this property, Iolite is thought to be one of two "Sunstones" used by the Vikings to navigate with extremely high accuracy, the other one being a type of calcite. Ranging from deep blue to a purple tint, the deeper the color the more valuable the iolite gem is said to be.

Metaphysical Properties

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. It is known as the Vikings’ Compass, and provides the vision to move us, physically and spiritually, from one realm to the next.

It stands for clarity, direction, resolve, and responsibility.
