IOLITE
Iolite: gem of the Vikings
When Leif Eriksson and the other legendary Viking explorers ventured far out into the Atlantic Ocean, away from any coastline that could help them determine their position, they had a secret gem weapon: iolite. The Viking mariners used thin pieces of it as the world’s first polarising filter. Looking through an iolite lens, they were able to determine the exact position of the sun, and navigate their way safely to the New World and back.
Iolite helps in recovering balance, and is recommended for those suffering from disorientation, lack of motivation, chronic disorganization, and distraction. Â It strengthens the resolve to take on responsibility and carry through, and provides self-assurance and endurance in adverse situations. It is an excellent source of energy when used for the elimination of debt and the responsible management of money.
Iolite used in this bracelet is very rough, in keeping with the style of the bracelet. Iolite comes in many variations of quality, and high quality iolite can be lustrously purple blue. Have you ever noticed how deep bodies of water sometimes look blue, but that same water looks clear in shallow depths or from different angles? High quality iolite can be expensive and have a Pleochroic qualities that cause it to look different shades depending on the viewing angle.
