Iolite’s name comes from the Greek ios, meaning violet, and is the gem version of the mineral Cordierite. A property called pleochroism is very pronounced in Iolite, producing different colors when the crystal is seen through different positions. Overall, Iolite appears as violet-blue or indigo, but in different positions may shift to a yellow-gray or honey color, and even to a clear light blue.

Iolite helps in recovering balance, and is recommended for those suffering from disorientation, lack of motivation, chronic disorganization, and distraction. It strengthens the resolve to take on responsibility and carry through, and provides self-assurance and endurance in adverse situations. Aids us in understanding and releasing the causes of addiction, allowing for the expression of one’s true self, freed from the expectations of others.
