Collection: Sodalite

Sodalite is a striking tectosilicate mineral best known for its rich, royal blue color, often marbled with white veins of calcite. Named after its high sodium content, this stone typically forms in igneous rocks and is frequently confused with lapis lazuli, though it lacks the telltale golden flecks of pyrite found in the latter. Some rare varieties of this mineral even exhibit tenebrescense, temporarily changing color when exposed to ultraviolet light, making it a fascinating subject for both geologists and gem collectors alike.
