Definition
A hard blue or violet mineral containing aluminum and silicon that is used in porcelain and jewelry, and was historically used to help identify true direction.
Etymology
Named after the French mineralist Pierre Louis Antoine Cordier in 1813. The mineral was previously called 'dichroite' because of its color-changing properties depending on viewing angle.
Kelly Says
Cordierite is called the 'Viking's compass' because Vikings might have used polished pieces to navigate—it has a special optical property that helps you find the sun through clouds by showing polarized light patterns!
