Polished piece of the rich, royal blue mineral sodalite.
Sodalite is a beautiful mineral widely used as a gemstone. It is found in igneous rocks that crystallised from sodium-rich magmas, hence the name.
Although somewhat similar to lapis lazuli, sodalite rarely contains pyrite (a common inclusion in lapis) and its colour is royal blue rather than ultramarine. It is mined chiefly in Brazil, Canada and Namibia.
This piece is polished on one side.
