Product detailed description

Sodalite is a group of minerals also known as the feldspatoid group. Foids are a group of minerals from the group of tectosilicates that are formed by crystallization in melt instead of feldspars in the absence of SiO₂. They are therefore representatives of feldspars which can never occur in rock together with quartz. It was first discovered in 1811 by Europeans in Greenland. However, it has been traced back to the Caral people (2600-2000 BC) near Lima for commercial purposes. It is rarely found in crystalline form and can sometimes be found interbedded with white calcite. Sodalite is primarily blue but can be found as white, yellow, red and green.

On a mental level, it is said to deepen concentration, logical thinking and imagination. The earthy nature of sodalite reinforces stability and calmness in us, soothes our agitated feelings and fractious minds, and strengthens our resolve to remain ourselves at all times. It promotes our confidence in our own abilities.
