History
& Lore:
Sodalite is usually a deep blue color. This mineral gets its name from its sodium content. Sodalite was first discovered in Greenland in 1806. In 1891, it was used as an ornamental stone, when large deposits of gem quality material were found in Ontario, Canada. Apart from blue, sodalite can be grey, yellow, orange or pink. However, for gemstone use, sodalite is typically blue, and often has white veins running
through it. These white veins are known as calcite.
Sodalite is found in Brazil (Bahia), Greenland, India, Canada (Ontario), Namibia, Russia (the Urals) and the USA
(Montana).
Sodalite is said to bring logic, inner peace, and calming energy. It is also believed to protect its wearer from negative energy. It helps those who wear it to
see the positive sides of others. Physically, Sodalite is said to assist athletes by improving endurance and motivation to achieve goals. Also, it is sometimes referred to as a "poet's stone" because it is thought to be conducive to writers. Physically, sodalite is considered to be beneficial for the glands and helpful for weight loss, insomnia, calcium deficiency and the sinuses.
