The story: Iolite, also known as “water sapphire,” is a deep purplish-blue gemstone that has captivated explorers and craftsmen for centuries. Its name comes from the Greek ios, meaning “purple”. According to legend, Viking navigators used thin strips of iolite as natural polarizing filters to orient themselves by the sun, even on cloudy days. Symbolically, iolite is associated with inner clarity, intuition, and spiritual guidance. It is said to help you find your way back, both personally and emotionally, by promoting lucidity and serenity. Today, iolite seduces with its changing reflections between blue and purple, evoking the mystery of northern skies and the depth of introspection.
