MINERAL SPECIES & SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATIONSodalite 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 opaqueSodalite is valued for its intense blue coloration, which is caused by the presence of sulphur within its crystal structure. GEOLOGICAL FORMATION & OCCURRENCESodalite 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
• CancriniteSodalite 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 FINISHThis 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 baseThe obelisk shape highlights the natural patterns within the stone while providing a refined geometric display form. DISPLAY, COLLECTING & DECORATIVE APPEALA Sodalite Obelisk Point is ideal for:
• Mineral and crystal collections
• Desk or shelf décor
• Display cabinets
• Educational geology study
• Unique natural stone giftsIn 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. AUTHENTICITY & WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
• Genuine natural Sodalite mineral
• Polished obelisk tower form
• The exact specimen shown in the photographs
• Carefully selected display-quality piece
• Includes Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic cardA visually impressive blue mineral specimen combining natural geological origin with elegant craftsmanship, perfect for collectors and admirers of distinctive decorative stone.
