It exhibits various shades of blue, from violet-blue and blue to brownish-blue. It is a rare mineral known for its pleochroism, where its axial colors change to a violet hue when viewed from different directions. For this reason, it also goes by the names cordierite and dichroite. Legend has it that the Norse Vikings used slices of iolite, utilizing its birefringence, as a polarizing filter to determine the sun's position and navigate their voyages. This has earned it the nickname "Viking's Compass," and it's believed to be a stone that guides one correctly through life and corrects mistakes. *Natural stones may exhibit natural inclusions (internal cracks, dark spots, or minor surface scratches). While we select them with great care, please understand that these may be present in individual stones.
