Sodalite, deriving its name from its high sodium content, forms in various igneous rocks, including Syenite, Trachyte, and Phonolite. First discovered in Greenland in 1806, Sodalite gained prominence when larger deposits were unearthed in Canada during the late 19th century. Its mesmerising deep blue colour, often interspersed with hues of blue-grey, brown, and occasional hints of red and green, has made it a sought-after gemstone.

The Spiritual Vibes

Known as the stone of peace, Sodalite’s vibrations resonate with the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, fostering clear communication and profound insights. It encourages logical thinking and rational expression, making it ideal for public speakers and individuals navigating complex thoughts. It’s said that from the early discovery days, creatives, artists and ‘outside the box’ thinkers admired Sodalites vibrations and energies, and they felt it enhanced their creativity, inspiration and allowed them to see more clearly.

Spiritually, Sodalite invites tranquillity and self-awareness, facilitating a deeper understanding of oneself and others. It aligns with the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, enhancing creativity and inspiring new perspectives. Affirming one’s ability to speak truth with confidence, Sodalite empowers individuals to embrace their authenticity.

Sodalite's Favourite Pairing Crystals

Pair Sodalite with crystals like Labradorite, Lapis Lazuli, and Amethyst to amplify its effects and promote inner harmony. Use Sodalite during meditation or wear it as jewellery to enhance communication skills and access higher realms of consciousness. Placing a few tumbled stones or larger rocks next to your bed will promote a more peaceful sleep.
