These are AA-grade Sodalite raw stones from Bahia, Brazil, sold by the piece or by the pound. Sodalite belongs to the feldspathoid family, deep blue with white calcite veining running through most pieces. Each piece runs 1-2 inches at Mohs 6, sourced through a community partnership. A favorite focus stone for crystal grids.
Sodalite is a deep royal blue, usually marbled with white calcite veins. It's easy to confuse with lapis lazuli from across a room, but sodalite has no pyrite and a slightly softer feel.
These raw pieces come from Bahia, Brazil.
Discovered in Greenland and elsewhere.
Those who work with sodalite often turn to it for coming back to the task in front of you, listening to the quieter signals, and quiet, steady calm. It's traditionally linked to the throat and third eye chakras. If that resonates, hold it for a few breaths before a conversation that matters. How you use it is up to you.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Sodalite sits at 6 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 1 to 2 inch on its longest side and weighs 20 to 50 grams. About 12 to 24 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

How We GradeSourced through a regional cooperative or community-based workshop. Processing and economic benefit stay local, which means more of the value reaches the people doing the work. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
