Iolite Crystals Meanings and Properties
It is purported to be a good aid in overcoming addiction, including co-dependency, as it helps us to see the reasons behind the addiction. When used to fight addiction, Iolite is said to show the true causes of addiction and help us to let them go. It is particularly associated with alcoholism due to its power to detoxify the liver. It is also said to relieve migraine headaches.
