- What is it: Sodalite is a light, hard, yet fragile mineral. It is named because of it's high sodium content. Blue sodalite is the most popular, but it can also be grey, yellow, green, or pink. Although somewhat similar to lazurite and lapis lazuli, sodalite rarely contains pyrite (a common inclusion in lapis) and its blue color is more like traditional royal blue rather than an ultramarine. Sodalite is sometimes referred to as the "poor man's lapis" due to its similar color and the fact that it is much less expensive. Most sodalite will fluoresce orange under ultraviolet light.
- History: Sodalite was first discovered by Europeans in 1811 in Greenland, sodalite did not become important as an ornamental stone until 1891 when large deposits of the mineral were discovered in Ontario, Canada.
- Metaphysical Properties: Sometimes called the wisdom stone, sodalite is said to enhance concentration and courage. The stone is believed to have many positive effects to its wearer’s emotions. Clears negativity and unnecessary guilt, promotes clear thinking, disapates fear, increases stability, and creates harmony.
