These are A-grade Sodalite raw stones from Bahia, Brazil, sold by the piece or by the pound. Sodalite is a royal-blue sodium aluminum silicate veined with white calcite, often mistaken for lapis lazuli but without pyrite flecks. Each piece runs 0.25-0.75 inches at Mohs 5.5-6, fully natural and untreated. A favorite focus stone for desks and crystal grids.
Sodalite is a deep navy to royal blue, marbled through with veins of white calcite. The contrast is what makes each piece distinctive, with no two patterns ever alike.
Hand-selected from Bahia, Brazil. Named for its sodium content. Sodalite often forms in massive, non-crystalline aggregates with intergrown calcite, which is why the white veining is part of the stone's natural character.
Sodalite is traditionally worked with for intuition, focused thought, and quiet stress relief. It's linked to the throat and third eye chakras. Many people keep a piece on a desk during long thinking work, or by a journal to settle the noise before writing.
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 5.5-6 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. The one thing that hurts it is sunlight: months in a bright window will fade the color, and it does not come back.
Natural sodalite from Bahia, Brazil. Untreated.
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 0.25 to 0.75 inches on its longest side and weighs 5 to 10 grams. About 48 to 72 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.
