About This Sodalite

Sodalite is a deep blue tectosilicate, shot through with white calcite veining. It gets its color from chloride ions locked into the crystal structure, and it forms in igneous rock that ran short on silica.

It is regularly mistaken for lapis lazuli. The tell is pyrite: lapis usually has gold flecks, sodalite does not.

These vases are cut and hollowed from solid blocks sourced in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Traditionally Used For

Sodalite is traditionally worked with for clear thinking, focus, and saying what you actually mean. It is linked to the throat and third eye chakras, and it has a long association with study, writing, and work that asks for a quiet head.

If that resonates, this is a stone that earns its keep on a desk rather than a shelf. Put a stem in it and let it sit where you work.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity Medium

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.

Do

  • Use The Tube Insert For Water
  • Wipe Dry
  • Gentle Soap Only
  • Store Protected
  • Stable Room Temperature

Avoid

  • Chemical Cleaners
  • Prolonged Standing Water Against The Stone
  • Direct Sunlight (prolonged)

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real sodalite, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural sodalite from Minas Gerais, Brazil. No. The blue is natural. Sodalite is not commonly dyed, and these are untreated.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

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.

What size are the pieces?

Each piece measures 5 to 6 inches on its longest side and weighs 3 to 5 pounds.

What does A grade mean?

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.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

This lot is from Minas Gerais, Brazil. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
