Getting its name from the Greek word “ios,” which means “violet,” this stone’s deep and rich purple color resonates strongly with the energies of Spirit. This brings joy, light, peace, and comfort. It is known to be a useful tool for detoxification and for overcoming codependency and aids in understanding and releasing the root cause of any counterproductive behavior or thought patterns. Resonating with the upper chakras, Iolite aids in the expression of your truth, is a potent tool for visualization, and allows one to travel between realms. It is said that Iolite calms stress and reduces tension, helping with migraines and headaches. It can be found in just a few places around the world, including Sri Lanka, India, Kenya, and Brazil.
