Iolite

Iolite is the gem-quality variety of the mineral cordierite, a magnesium aluminum cyclosilicate that forms in high-grade metamorphic rocks and some igneous environments. It is best known for its strong pleochroism, displaying shades of violet-blue, gray, and pale yellow depending on the viewing angle. Major sources include India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Brazil, and Tanzania.

It is often called the Stone of Vision, believed to enhance intuition, inner guidance, and mental clarity while helping to release fear and limiting beliefs. It is associated with the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, supporting meditation, spiritual insight, and conscious decision-making.
