Iolite is also known as water sapphire. It is a deep blue stone with more violet shadings than sapphire.

Iolite helps one to make life changes towards spiritual growth.

It can be used with Amethyst to aid in meditation and astral travel. Also used for stimulation of visions.

Iolite teaches us to enjoy and live in the moment.

It is of the same hardness as quartz family (although not part of that group) so is suitable for all kinds of uses – jewelry, pocket stone, etc.
