21" Oval Sodalite Bead & Labradorite Necklace

Sodalite

Sodalite is a rich royal blue tectosilicate mineral widely used as an ornamental gemstone. Sodalite is a member of the sodalite group with hauyne, nosean, lazurite and tugtupite. First discovered by Europeans in 1811 in the Ilimaussaq intrusive complex in Greenland, sodalite did not become important as an ornamental stone until 1891 when vast deposits of fine material were discovered in Ontario, Canada. The Sodalite crystal is a salty combination of manganese and calcium, a magical synergy of minerals that creates a soothing effect on overstressed or sluggish adrenal glands. In the spiritual sense, Sodalite gives us a sense of calm to weather the storms of life.

Labradorite

Labradorite is a variety of plagioclase feldspar that often exhibits bright flashes of electric yellow, green or blue when played in the light. This phenomenon is unique to the mineral and has been named "labradorescence". It is one of our favorite tumbled stones.
