Pendant & Necklace, Heart Cabochon, Viking Compass Stone (Iolite), wrapped in copper.
This Viking's Compass (Iolite), is from RI beaches.
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 heart is the locus of physical and spiritual being, and represents the "central wisdom of feeling as opposed to the head-wisdom of reason" (Cooper, 82). It is compassion and understanding, life-giving and complex. It is a symbol for love. Often known as the seat of emotions, the heart is synonymous with affection.
