Large African Tumble Stones – Sodalite
Sodalite is one of the most beautiful blue mineral stones: white calcite veins run across a dark blue base, and in places deeper, darker blue patches appear, creating a complex and striking pattern. Our large African tumble stones are carefully selected so that every piece delights with the meeting of rich blue tones and unique white veining. Sodalite resembles lapis lazuli but offers the natural beauty of blue at a much more accessible price.

Symbolically associated with the Taurus zodiac sign in many traditions.
