IOLITE
CORDIERITE

Iolite is named for the Greek word for violet. It is a magnesium iron aluminum cyclosilicate mineral found in Brazil, Madagascar, Myanmar & India. Gemstone quality Iolite displays pleochroism, an optical phenomenon in which a substance has different colors when observed at different angles, especially with polarized light. This phenomena lends to the idea that Iolite may have been the Viking “Sunstone” of legend. Cordierite is the mineralogical name for Iolite, when it is not in gemstone form.
