IOLITE
Known as the “Viking’s Compass,” Iolite has guided explorers
for over a thousand years.
According to historical accounts, Viking navigators used
thin slices of this remarkable gemstone as a natural polarizing filter,
allowing them to locate the position of the sun
even beneath cloudy skies or through Arctic mist.
Long before the invention of modern navigation instruments,
Iolite helped sailors chart their course across vast northern seas,
earning its reputation as a stone of direction and vision.
Its captivating shades of violet, blue and grey shift with the light,
revealing a phenomenon known as pleochroism,
which has fascinated gem collectors and scientists alike.
Today, Iolite is celebrated not only for its rare beauty,
but also for the remarkable story
that has accompanied it throughout history.
