Check out this beauty that Ive just had delivered from Thailand - it is a 29 carat iolite. Quite complex in its colouring depending on how it is viewed (angle, background). Its name originates from the Greek word for violet. I can see violet, grey, and blue. Iolite is also known as the Viking stone because according to Norse legend, Vikings used iolite as a polarizing filter to help them find the sun on cloudy days. It is believed that the Vikings discovered iolite deposits throughout Norway and Greenland.
