Each vase runs 4-6 inches at Mohs 6, fully natural and untreated, with a removable tube insert holding the water. A favorite focus stone for desks.
Sodalite is a deep blue tectosilicate, shot through with white calcite veining. It gets its colour 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.
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.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
