Like a crisp, dark winter sky, Iolite's shifting shades of violet-blue carries the spirit of journey, of dreams and intuition, of exploration and illumination. It is known as the Vikings' Compass. 

Viking explorers who ventured far away from coastlines used thin pieces of Iolite as the world's first polarizing filter to determine position. Looking through an Iolite lens, they could determine the exact location of the sun to navigate safely.
