A highly spiritual stone connected to the Third Eye, Iolite is a stone of vision that heightens intuition and insight helping us discern between our higher self and our ego. Iolite makes us aware of any harmful, negative thought patterns we have about ourselves enabling our higher self to clear our old ways of thinking allowing us a new beginning. When Iolite contacts the Auric field, it gives off an electrical charge to reenergize the Aura and align the Chakras and subtle bodies. A great stone for codependency, Iolite helps dissipate conflict in our relationships by encouraging us to take responsibility for our actions, words and behaviors. Once we are able to overcome our debilitating behavior, we are free from the trap that keeps us in an endless cycle of suffering. For those that suffer from insomnia or nightmares, placing Iolite under your pillow can help you achieve a peaceful night’s sleep. Iolite commonly demonstrates the optical phenomenon pleochroism, meaning it can appear different colors depending on the angle. These colors can include indigo, violet, yellow and gray.
