About Iolite

Iolite is the gem name for cordierite, a hard violet-blue silicate best known for pleochroism, the habit of showing different colors along different crystal directions. Crystal tradition treats it as a vision stone: one that activates the third eye and supports visualization and intuitive understanding once the chakras are aligned. It has a long association with shamanic ceremony and inward work, and with the kind of self-knowledge that lets you act from who you are instead of who you are expected to be.
