Iolite, also known as "water sapphire" or "Vikings' Compass," is a gemstone belonging to the cordierite mineral family. It is found in various locations, including Sri Lanka, India, and Brazil. Historically, iolite has been used by Vikings as a navigational aid due to its ability to polarize light and determine the direction of the sun on overcast days. The gemstone's name is derived from the Greek word "ios," meaning violet, reflecting its typical blue-violet to violet coloration. Composed of magnesium iron aluminum cyclosilicate, iolite has a hardness of 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for jewelry. Its pleochroic nature, displaying different colors from different angles, enhances its visual appeal, making iolite a valued gemstone in various cultural and lapidary contexts.
