Sodalite bead bracelet 8 mm faceted

Mineralogically, sodalite is a sodium aluminum silicate chloride (Na₈Al₆Si₆O₂₄Cl₂), with a Mohs hardness of 5.5–6 and a cubic crystal system. The stone owes its characteristic royal blue to sulfur compounds; the white veins are calcite inclusions. First discovered in Greenland in 1811, it is often confused with lapis lazuli—however, it is a purer blue and contains no pyrite inclusions. Rarely, it also exhibits a cat's eye effect. The faceted cut of the 8 mm beads enhances the natural depth of the blue—expressive and present. Locations: Brazil, Canada, Namibia, India, USA.

Significance in crystal healing

Sodalite is considered the stone of the third eye, logical thinking, and concentration. It is said to promote foresight and rationality, assist with learning, and alleviate test anxiety. It is believed to be associated with the brow chakra. These attributions are based on traditional lore and are not scientifically proven. They do not replace medical treatment.
