Iolite (stone): magical properties, who fits, decorations with iolite

Each people the same stone can have a completely different name, but at the same time, strangely enough, its properties always converge, and the ways of applying also. Iolite is a stone with many names. In one place it is listed as a trotting sapphire, in the other - blue jade, in the third - cordierite, in the fourth - water sapphire, but it remains a beautiful semiprecious mineral that absorbed all shades of blue and violet.

Tradition of the Iolite

As mentioned in the ancient Scandinavian sagas, the Vikings never went on a voyage without taking an iolith with them. The stone was not their talisman for luck, but served as a navigation device, helping in cloudy weather to determine where the sun is.

This is due to the property of the mineral to change its color when it hits the light, so the ancient seafarers looked through the stone in search of the sun, and since it was the Vikings who were considered the most unrivaled conquerors of the seas, such sagas can be believed.

Although this mineral is known for a long time, he did not enjoy much jewelry, but people valued him for the qualities that he possessed.

Iolite shades

No matter how sorry, but sapphires have always enjoyed the favor of kings and noble persons for its beautiful color. Iolite - a stone whose properties are similar in texture to jade, and color with sapphire, - for a long time was considered an imitation of either one or the other.

Basically there are stones of dark purple or blue color, although there are varieties of it in blue and light blue shades. It is interesting that if one considers angles from different angles, the stone changes its main tone every time to its many ebbs.

To reveal the mineral and show its originality and beauty, jewelers began to granulate it in a special way - its platform is installed at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the edges of the prism. This required great skill, since any inaccuracy immediately deprived him of attractiveness.

Transparent Iolite (stone) was subjected to the same treatment as sapphires and diamonds.

Stone deposit and its application

Cordierite has been produced for a long time in India, Burma, Madagascar, Sri Lanka and England. There are small deposits in the US, Russia and Canada. Apparently, he got to the ancient Vikings from the country of Albion, but not in all states he was recognized, although the magical properties of iolite were known to druids, shamans and sorcerers. They wore it to reveal their hidden abilities and enhance the possibilities of clairvoyance.

At the time of geographic discoveries, even before Columbus, Leif Ericsson, a navigator from Scandinavia, inserted the ionite into the navigation device when crossing the Atlantic. The stone seems to "feel" the sun and begins to glow in its part, which is directed towards it.

None of these minerals can be traced to the "bloody trail", as was the case with sapphires, but the benefits to people and the help of yolith (stone) brought a lot. He continues to influence the person today.

During the extraction of this mineral, the list of diseases, to which it positively affected, increased with each century. Here is an incomplete list of the properties of an ionite (stone):
