Sodalite (Na8(Al6Si6)O24Cl2) is a deep blue tectosilicate mineral admired for its celestial color and intricate veining. Its rich indigo hues, streaked with white calcite or grey feldspar, give Sodalite an unmistakable visual signature— one that bridges the scientific and the spiritual with quiet strength and clarity.
Geologically, Sodalite belongs to the feldspathoid group and crystallizes in the isometric system, typically forming in silica-poor igneous rocks such as nepheline syenites and phonolites. Key sources include Brazil (notably Bahia and Pancas), Namibia (beautifully banded royal blue nodules), Canada (Ontario’s Bancroft and Mont-Saint-Hilaire regions), Afghanistan and India (intensely saturated material used in carvings), and Greenland (notable for the fluorescent variety Hackmanite). When exposed to UV light, Hackmanite exhibits reversible tenebrescence—shifting between violet, pink, and white tones.
Collectors prize Sodalite for its dramatic color contrast, fine polish, and association with rare feldspathoid minerals. Massive, gemmy, and veined forms are commonly fashioned into spheres, carvings, and display pieces, while fluorescent or translucent Hackmanite adds a dynamic glow to any collection.
