Iolite, also known in Vedic tradition as Neeli or Kaka Neeli, is a stunning violet-blue semi-precious gemstone revered for its strong connection to inner vision and the celestial body Saturn (Shani). Historically nicknamed the 'Viking's Compass' for its use in navigating on cloudy days due to its unique pleochroism—displaying different colors when viewed from various angles—Iolite symbolizes clarity, endurance, and guidance. Astrologically, it is used as a powerful Uparatna (substitute) for Blue Sapphire to harness the benevolent energies of Saturn
 
Benefits of Iolite:
The primary benefit of wearing Iolite is its exceptional ability to bring Mental Clarity and Emotional Stability, especially during periods of stress, disorientation, or the difficult Shani Sade Sati phase. By stimulating the Third Eye Chakra, Iolite sharply enhances Intuition and Inner Vision, helping the wearer to make sound, confident decisions and overcome creative blocks.
 
How to wear an Iolite Stone?
To effectively channel the powerful energy of Saturn through the Iolite gemstone, proper wearing procedure is essential. The stone should be set in Silver and worn on the Middle Finger of your working hand, as this finger is specifically ruled by Saturn. The most propitious day to wear Iolite for the first time is a Saturday, ideally during the evening hours. Ensure the Iolite is of sufficient carat weight, and that its base remains in physical contact with your skin.
