    • Origin: A magnesium-aluminum silicate mineral formed in regional metamorphic rocks (especially gneiss and schist), developing under moderate pressure and temperature. Its name derives from Greek “ios” (violet), referencing its signature blue-purple hues. Unique for its trichroism (color shifts with angle), it’s a geological marker of ancient tectonic activity.
    • Appearance: Typically ranges from deep blue-purple to blue-gray, with striking trichroism (showing purple, blue, or pale yellow from different angles). It has a glassy luster, transparent to translucent, with short prismatic crystals. Its chameleon-like color play adds a mysterious, dynamic vibe to DIY bracelets—like “a fragment of twilight captured in stone.”
    • Culture & Meaning: Revered by Viking sailors as a “navigation stone” (it polarizes light, aiding sun detection on cloudy days). In crystal lore, it’s seen as a “stone of direction,” guiding clarity amid confusion. Today, it symbolizes intuition, purpose, and “trusting one’s inner compass,” mirroring its historical role in navigation.
    • Five Elements Attribute: Core = Water (from blue-purple hues, symbolizing wisdom, intuition, and flow). Subtle earthy undertones add a faint Earth element (grounding), creating “Water rooted in Earth” synergy—balancing intuition with practicality.
    • Who It Suits: Ideal for travelers, those at crossroads (career/life choices), intuitive seekers (meditators, artists), or lovers of color-shifting gems. It fits DIY bracelets needing a “mysterious, guiding touch.”
    • Beneficial Energy: Infuses DIY bracelets with “compass-like clarity” energy. It eases indecision, sharpens inner guidance, and the trichroic shifts remind wearers: truth often reveals itself through different perspectives.

    Why We Do Free Worldwide Shipping

    We believe everyone—developed or less developed areas—deserves equal shopping rights. Our natural stones come from all over the globe, so we should share them fairly.That’s why we dropped “no free shipping for remote areas” for good. Now, free worldwide shipping and tax-free delivery on €199+ orders—no exceptions.Unlike before (€99+ plus shipping), this cuts your costs and cuts down on 50% of those extra shipping trips that hurt our planet. We might lose small orders, but helping the planet? Worth it.

    Why We Shoot Every Stone (No Free Unreasoned Returns)

    Natural stones take millions of years to form—each has unique patterns, colors, even “flaws” (which make them special).So we shoot multiple macro angles for every stone over €10 (aiming to cover all someday) — to show you exactly what you’ll get.Shooting costs a lot (way more than free returns), but it’s the right way to give you real value.Why no free returns? It’d break our photo budget, plus create waste (emissions, packaging, energy). We’d rather cut your “wrong buy” risk than add waste.Shop thoughtfully—let’s keep unique stones with people who love them. If damaged in shipping: email photos to 5elementslink@gmail.com, we’ll fix it fast.
