Lyra Iolite Teardrop Earrings - Sterling Silver

Iolite is one of the lesser known stones and that is part of its appeal. Those who find their way to it tend to feel it was waiting for them.

Known historically as the Viking compass stone, iolite was used by Norse navigators to find the sun on overcast days, held up to the sky, it filtered the light and revealed the direction they needed. A stone, quite literally, for finding your way when the path isn't clear. Said to strengthen intuition, support inner vision and help those who are searching for direction, in a decision, in a relationship, in themselves.

In colour it shifts between blue and violet depending on the angle, the light and the moment. Like labradorite, it keeps something back. Unlike labradorite, it gives it to you quietly rather than in a flash.

These earrings feature a single teardrop iolite set in sterling silver. The simple bezel setting keeps the focus entirely on the stone, deep blue-violet and quietly extraordinary. Measuring 1.1 inches, they sit somewhere between everyday and occasion, easy enough for a Tuesday, polished enough for anything else.

Each stone carries the natural variation of a genuine gemstone. No two pairs are identical.

Each Symbolia order includes a meaning card with the story and symbolism of your stone.
