Sodalite Skull | Brazil | SiO2 | Polished Blue Quartz

Sodalite is a deep-blue mineral primarily composed of sodium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen. Its rich, vivid blue color, often mottled with white streaks or veins, makes it a popular gemstone and decorative stone. It is often confused with lapis lazuli, although sodalite lacks the gold flecks of pyrite that are typically found in lapis. Sodalite glows under UV light, sometimes emitting an orange or yellow hue due to certain impurities within the stone.

Sodalite is also associated with the Throat Chakra, making it a stone for improved communication and self-expression. Additionally, it is thought to calm the mind, reduce stress, and enhance intuition, providing mental clarity and emotional balance.
