Sodalite Tumbles from Brazil

Sodalite is a stone from a feldspar group called Tectosilicates, a group which comprises nearly 75% of the Earth's crust. As the name suggests, stones from this group are made up of a three-dimensional framework of silicate tetrahedra. Sodalite is unimaginatively named for its sodium content and is primarily known for its deep blue color. However, sodalite may also be grey, yellow, green, or pink and is often mottled with white veins or patches.
Sodalite was first discovered by Europeans in 1811 in Greenland, but it didn't become an important ornamental gemstone until it was discovered in vast quantities in Ontario, Canada in 1891. As the British Royal Family was visiting at the time of that discovery, it is sometimes called "Princess Blue" in Canada.

Blue gemstones carry the energy of the sky meeting the ocean, and whereas lighter blue stones capture a calm flowing energy, Sodalite, with its deep, bold hues, captures the passionate, empowering energy of a busy ocean. Uniting logic and intuition as well as truth and idealism, Sodalite aids in organizing the mind for deep thought and clearly speaking one's truth.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
