SODALITE

Sodalite is a tectosilicate mineral and has a waxy lustre. It is part of the sodalite group with other stones such as lazurite and hauyne. It comes in shades of royal blue and purple with white calcite, but can also be found in white, yellow, red and green. The name derives from sodium and the Greek lithos, stone.

It gained popularity in 1891 when deposits were found in Ontario, Canada. Because these deposits were discovered at the same time as a visit by the royal family, Sodalite is sometimes referred to in Canada as Princess Blue (Princess Blue). The stone has excellent energy that will bring calmness to emotions and clear thoughts.
