Iolite Small Necklace — 1 of 1

Deep blue-violet iolite — sometimes called "water sapphire" for its deep, shifting color. Hand-strung with gold-filled wire and a gold-filled clasp. Only one. If you've never worn iolite, this is the piece to start with.

The Stone
Viking navigators used thin slices of iolite as the world's first polarizing filter — held up to the sky, it helped them find the sun on overcast days and navigate open ocean. Called the "Viking's compass," it's a stone of vision, guidance, and inner knowing. Its blue-violet color shifts dramatically depending on angle — a phenomenon called pleochroism that makes each viewing a slightly different experience.
