MINERAL SPECIES & SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATION

Sodalite is a tectosilicate mineral belonging to the feldspathoid group.

Scientific details:


• Mineral Name: Sodalite
• Mineral Group: Feldspathoid (Tectosilicate)
• Chemical Formula: Na₈(Al₆Si₆O₂₄)Cl₂
• Crystal System: Isometric (Cubic)
• Hardness: 5.5–6 on the Mohs scale
• Lustre: Vitreous to greasy
• Transparency: Translucent to opaque

Sodalite is valued for its intense blue coloration, which is caused by the presence of sulphur within its crystal structure.

GEOLOGICAL FORMATION & OCCURRENCE

Sodalite forms in silica-poor igneous rocks, particularly nepheline syenites and other alkaline intrusive formations. These geological environments allow feldspathoid minerals to crystallise in place of quartz.

It is commonly found associated with:


• Nepheline
• Feldspar
• Calcite
• Cancrinite

Sodalite deposits are located in several regions worldwide, often forming in massive structures rather than distinct large crystals. The material used for obelisks is typically cut from these solid mineral masses.

COLOUR, PATTERN & POLISHED FINISH

This Sodalite Obelisk displays the mineral’s classic deep blue base colour, often interwoven with contrasting white calcite veins or mottled inclusions.

Features may include:


• Rich ultramarine or royal blue tones
• Natural white streaks or marbling
• Subtle internal variation in colour saturation
• Smooth, high-quality polished faces
• Symmetrical pointed tip and stable base

The obelisk shape highlights the natural patterns within the stone while providing a refined geometric display form.

DISPLAY, COLLECTING & DECORATIVE APPEAL

A Sodalite Obelisk Point is ideal for:


• Mineral and crystal collections
• Desk or shelf décor
• Display cabinets
• Educational geology study
• Unique natural stone gifts

In various cultural traditions, sodalite has been traditionally associated with themes of clarity and communication; these interpretations are based on folklore rather than scientific classification. Today, sodalite is primarily appreciated for its bold colour, mineral structure, and decorative appeal.
