Product Description
According to legend, Iolite is called the Viking Compass Stone. It’s said that thin slices of iolite served as glare-reducers and polarizing filters that helped ancient Viking navigators locate the sun on cloudy days. This allowed the Nordic mariners to pinpoint their own location on the seas. The name iolite comes from the Greek word ios, meaning “violet.” Some believe that the gem helps to unlock creativity.
This 14kt yellow gold Blàth knot pendant has a gorgeous deep violet-blue faceted, 3.06ct (9x11mm) oval Iolite in a basket setting at the bottom. It measures 1 5/8 inches long and 5/8 inch wide. An 18" 14kt yellow cable chain is included.
