Iolite raw stone against light

This liquid sapphire of the inner vision holds the silent compass of the stars! Raw iolite, although opaque shows translucent to transparent regions when viewed against light. It is a hard stone, but still prone to breakage due to cleavage in one direction. Various types of inclusions are observed in Iolite, for example red and shimmering metallic spots of hematite, black mica or biotite and needle-like inclusions of iron oxide or rutile. Unique fluid inclusions may appear as bubbles. In its natural, uncut state, it is prized for grounding energies and is frequently used by crystal practitioners for meditation, deep healing, and emotional balance. Iolite is thought to soothe deep emotional wounds, ease anxiety, and help users break addictive cycles by releasing the underlying causes of the addiction. Raw stone can be placed anywhere in the house and office.
