Question 1

What is the difference between sodalite and lapis lazuli?

Accepted Answer

Both are deep blue minerals with white veins, but lapis lazuli is more valuable, considered a gemstone, and typically also contains pyrite (gold) flecks. Sodalite is more affordable, without pyrite, and threaded with white calcite veins. Visually similar, but different in price and composition.

Question 2

Is sodalite really deep blue or more grey?

Accepted Answer

Genuine, good quality sodalite is pronouncedly deep blue, together with the white calcite veins. The African sodalite stones we offer have a vivid blue appearance in their natural, untreated form. If you see grey sodalite somewhere, it is likely a lower quality specimen or a different variety.

Question 3

How should sodalite tumbled stones be cared for?

Accepted Answer

Sodalite stones can be wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth or briefly rinsed under running water. Avoid prolonged soaking and acidic cleaning agents. Keep protected from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the blue tone.
