IOLITE (Cordierite)
Stone of Inner Vision and Spiritual Freedom
Origin and characteristics
Iolite, also known as cordierite, is an aluminum and magnesium silicate recognizable by its blue-violet reflections, sometimes tinged with gray or lavender. It possesses a unique optical property: pleochroism. Depending on the angle of the light, iolite reveals several different hues, ranging from deep blue to golden yellow, making it a fascinating stone to observe. Historically, the Vikings used thin slices of iolite as polarizing filters to navigate using the position of the sun, hence its nickname "the navigator's stone."
Iolite is a stone of inner development that reconnects us to our personal power and helps us draw upon our own resources. Long used as an ally in shamanic journeys , it facilitates passage between dimensions and supports the connection between the forces of the heart and those of the mind, thus allowing the realization of our dreams and goals.
