Handmade Jewelry: Iolite The name Iolite is derived from the Greek word “ios,” meaning violet. Iolite can sometimes appear a deep violet-blue from one direction, “clear as water” from the other direction, and yellow from the top. The Vikings used Iolite as the world’s first polarizing filter. When they looked through thin pieces of Iolite, they could navigate their ships by the exact position of the sun. Click on the images below to shop Dasha Boutique's handmade Iolite jewelry designs.
