While it is one of the more affordable blue gems, it is also uncommon in jewelry. You won’t usually find blue sodalite in your average mall jewelry store, so many shoppers consider their sodalite pieces incredibly unique parts of their jewelry collection.If you are curious about sodalite, including its properties, history, and origins, here’s a look at what this amazing stone is all about.SODALITE PROPERTIESThe sodalite stone isn’t actually a gemstone. Instead, sodalite is a mineral. Large, well-formed crystal sodalite is relatively rare because it can be prone to fracture. However, the structure makes sodalite a bit translucent, giving it a beautiful lustre. The white veining also adds interest and makes every piece look highly unique.While sodalite is best known for its deep royal blue color, that isn’t the only sodalite color available. Along with violet-blue and light blue variants, sodalite may be grey, green, yellow, red, or colourless. It also has a weak orange fluorescence when exposed to UV light, which is considered a defining characteristic of sodalite.THE HISTORY OF SODALITEIn the grand scheme of things, sodalite is a relatively new discovery. It wasn’t officially found until the early 1800s when it was spotted in Greenland and formally recorded for the first time.However, even though sodalite is a unique colour, it didn’t gain traction, in the ornamental sense, until 1891. That’s when significant sodalite deposits were discovered in Ontario, Canada.Then, in 1901, when the Princess of Wales was at the World’s Fair in Buffalo, New York, she received a gift of Sodalite that originated in Bancroft, Ontario. She became so enthralled with the stunning colouring that she made arrangements to get enough sodalite to decorate Marlborough House, her home in London. Over 130 tons of sodalite were sent to England for the royal residence. At that point, the Bancroft mine was dubbed the “Princess Sodalite Mine,” marking the occasion.Plus, in 1991, hackmanite – also known as pink sodalite – was discovered in Quebec, Canada. That also made Canadian sodalite very prominent.WHERE SODALITE IS FROMSodalite can be found in several countries around the globe. Along with large deposits in several locations across Canada, sodalite is still found in Greenland, where it was first formally discovered. Plus, there are well-known sodalite sources in the United States (both in Arkansas and in Maine).Over time, smaller deposits were found in a variety of countries from across the globe. This includes Afghanistan, Bolivia, Brazil, Myanmar, Namibia, Portugal, Romania, and Russia.These cabochons are cut from imported Afghani mined rough Sodalite material.Sodalite opens the mind to logic and rationality, inducing clarity and comprehension.
