Sodalite Necklaces

Sodalite necklace – the blue stone of truth, communication and clear thinking

A sodalite necklace captivates with its deep blue color with characteristic white veining – sodalite is a tectosilicate mineral of the sodalite group with the chemical composition Na8Al6Si6O24Cl2. Its blue color comes from trace admixtures; the veining is formed by white calcite or feldspar intergrown in the rock. Sodalite typically occurs in nepheline syenites and is mineralogically related to lapis lazuli – both are blue, and lapis lazuli contains sodalite as one of its components. In esoteric tradition, sodalite is called "the stone of truth, logic and communication" , with its natural domain in the throat chakra (Vishuddha) and the third eye (Ajna).

• Esoteric properties of a sodalite necklace

In esoteric tradition, sodalite is called "the stone of truth, logic and communication". When worn as a necklace, it is traditionally valued for:

• Strengthening rational and analytical thinking – "the stone of logic"; it helps approach situations with a clear head
• Communication and verbal self-expression – the throat chakra; it helps tell the truth clearly and calmly
• Emotional balance – it calms overactive emotions; it helps see situations objectively
• Intuition and insight – the third eye; connecting rationality with intuition
• Support for meditation and concentration – a calm, soothing energy
• Truthfulness and authenticity – it helps you be yourself and say what you really think
• Support for creative work – a popular stone of artists, writers and creative professions

Esoteric tradition describes the effects of stones on a spiritual level. Sodalite is not a medicinal product and does not replace medical care.

• Lapis lazuli – a rock composed of lazurite, calcite and pyrite; characteristic golden flecks of pyrite; deep royal blue; hardness 5–6 Mohs; historically more expensive; primarily Afghanistan
• Esoterically: sodalite = logic, communication, truth; lapis lazuli = wisdom, spiritual connection, royal energy
