The basics
Sodalite is a blue mineral named for the sodium inside it. It was first described in 1811 from Greenland.
The white streaks are other minerals, often calcite, running through the blue. Every piece has its own pattern.
Our sodalite comes from Brazil, one of the biggest sources. Namibia and the Bancroft area of Ontario are known for it too.

Care
Straight talk
Sodalite isn't commonly treated. It often gets mixed up with lapis lazuli. Lapis is usually a deeper blue with gold pyrite flecks, while sodalite has white veins and rarely any gold. Dyed howlite and glass sometimes pose as both. If one of our pieces were dyed or man-made, the title would say so.
Good questions
It's traditionally called a stone of truth and is linked with clear thinking, honest talk and the throat and third eye chakras. Many people just love the blue.
Ours comes from Brazil, one of the main sources. Sodalite is also found in Namibia and in Canada, around Bancroft, Ontario.
Lapis is usually a deeper, more even blue with little gold pyrite flecks. Sodalite is royal blue with white veins and rarely shows gold.
A quick rinse is fine. Dry it right after and don't leave it soaking. For a traditional cleanse, try smoke, sound or a night on selenite.
