A rough gemstone (also called a raw or uncut gemstone) simply refers to a gemstone that has not been cut and faceted. Rough Stones tend to carry with them a visceral + raw power, while tumbled stones lean towards a more gentle vibration. "Rough" is how these stones come out of the Earth. The shapes are organic, and they normally lack the lustrous glamour tumbled pieces have. Rough stones have typically passed through less hands and have experienced less processing than the tumbled, polished, cut, or faceted stones.
IOLITE
intuition, awareness, connection
PROPERTIES:: Also known as Cordierite and "water sapphire" and a highly spiritual stone connected to the Third Eye, Iolite is a stone of vision that heightens intuition and insight, helping us discern between our higher self and our ego. Iolite makes us aware of any harmful, negative thought patterns we have about ourselves, enabling our higher self to clear our old ways of thinking, which then allows us a new beginning. A great stone for codependency, Iolite helps dissipate conflict in our relationships by encouraging us to take responsibility for our actions, words, and behaviors. Once we are able to overcome our debilitating behavior, we are free from the trap that keeps us in an endless cycle of suffering. For those that suffer from insomnia or nightmares, placing Iolite under your pillow can help you achieve a peaceful night’s sleep. Iolite commonly demonstrates the optical phenomenon pleochroism, meaning it can appear different colors depending on the angle. These colors can include indigo, violet, yellow and gray.
