About Sodalite

Sodalite is a rich, royal blue mineral often marked by streaks of white calcite and occasionally tinged with shades of grey or green. Part of the feldspathoid mineral group, it typically forms in massive, granular habits and rarely appears in crystal form. Its striking blue hue, sometimes compared to lapis lazuli, makes sodalite a popular choice for decorative and jewelry purposes.

Chemically, sodalite is a sodium aluminum silicate with chloride, often found in igneous rocks such as nepheline syenites and phonolites. This mineral is known for its vitreous to greasy luster and relatively low hardness, rating a 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale. It’s commonly found in regions such as Ontario, Canada, and Brazil, as well as in other locales around the world where volcanic activity has occurred.
