Iolite Tumble

Iolite
Iolite is a stone of vision, truth, and inner navigation. It helps you tune into your own wisdom, clarify direction, and move forward with aligned purpose. Often called the “Viking’s Compass,” iolite brings clarity to clouded perceptions and supports intuitive decision-making grounded in personal integrity.

Historical and Mythological Background
Iolite, also known as cordierite, is a pleochroic gemstone—shifting between shades of violet, blue, and grey depending on the angle of light. Historically, Viking navigators are said to have used thin slices of iolite as a polarizing lens to locate the sun on overcast days. Today, it is used in spiritual practices for inner journeying, visioning, and third-eye awakening.
