Iolite is named after the Greek word "ios," meaning violet. ... Iolite is sometimes referred to as the Viking's compass. This gemstone is a light polarizer that helped Viking sailors navigate when the sun was hidden by clouds.

Iolite is commonly known as "water sapphire" in its deep blue sapphire color. Like sapphire and tanzanite, its fellow blue gemstones, iolite is pleochroic- meaning it transmits light differently when viewed from different directions.

Iolite is used to provide direction and guidance both physical and spiritually, to instill hope in difficult time and to promote feeling of peace, calm and tranquility. It has also been known to help the wearer better understand their feelings.
