Sodalite is a sodium aluminium silicate mineral, typically deep blue with white calcite streaks. Notable sources include Brazil, Canada (Ontario), Namibia, Russia and Afghanistan. This item is a pendant with a bail, measuring 30-40 mm.

2. History

Sodalite was identified in Greenland in 1811 and named by the British mineralogist Thomas Thomson for its high sodium content. Because it resembles lapis lazuli, it has long been used as an affordable alternative to that stone.
