History of the gemstone

Many may wonder why the ancient Vikings had such great success in finding new lands to conquer, but the answer is simple-iolite. Maybe not entirely, but this many-colored stone had a hand in their success.

The Vikings made lenses from the stone and used them as polarizing filters to navigate by the sun. The filter cut the glare from the light, water and clouds allowing them to pinpoint the location of the sun. This was how they got their bearings when they were far out to sea with no land in sight.

Gemstone significance

Unlike many other gemstones, iolite is not designated as a birthstone or even as a secondary birthstone. Iolite and diamond jewelry are a great way to commemorate this special day.

Caring for your jewelry

Iolite is quite durable with a 7-7.5 ranking on the Mohs scale of hardness. However, do not to knock or hit the stone because the presence of cleavage will result in splitting the stone. It is not indestructible. Because of the cleavage, rings and bracelets should be worn with care since they tend to get knocked around more than other pieces.

As for cleaning iolite earrings and other pieces, a soak in warm soapy water is sufficient. If residue is present under the stone and in the setting, a toothbrush can be used to remove the grime.
