Sodalite Quick Notes
Sodalite was discovered late in the 19th century in Greenland, later on being found in Canada, Brazil, China, Portugal and Australia. It was named when a chemist, Tomas Thomson, noticed the high sodium content. After all, this is what the name relates to.
It’s a beautiful blue stone with a waxy luster that sometimes appear opaque due to the inclusions when the rock was being formed. Mainly, you will find calcite inclusions, which gives it the white spots/streaks you see. Aside from a light royal blue color, it can look as deep as a purple; however, the most common color is blue. Depending on where the stone is mined, the colors can vary. For instance, sodalite coming from Greenland can be more of a grey color, whereas sodalite found in Canada can be more a finer grade, which produces a deeper blue color.
Metaphysically, sodalite is said to be good for both your logic and rationality, which can help you think clearer. It’s also a nice grounding stone to help balance your mood swings.
