Sodalite Tumbled Chips - 5-12 mm
Product Description
These Sodalite Chips are small tumbled pieces in deep royal blue marked with the characteristic white calcite veining, with a smooth, lightly polished surface. The chips are a loose, unstrung form suited to crystal grids, resin and jewellery craft, pouches, and decorative fills.
Sodalite is traditionally associated with clear thinking, honest expression, and intuitive insight, and is commonly used to support focus and calm, rational thought. Loose chips like these are often placed in grids, added to craft and resin projects, or carried in a pouch. Their deep blue and white veining make them a distinctive material for focused, communicative layouts.
As a natural mineral, each chip varies in the depth of its blue and pattern of white veining across the mix, so no two are the same.

Geological Information
Sodalite is a sodium aluminium silicate chloride, a feldspathoid rather than a true feldspar, with a hardness of 5.5 to 6 and a cubic structure. Its blue colour comes from sulphur and iron, and the white streaks are calcite veining. It is frequently confused with lapis lazuli but lacks lapis's gold pyrite flecks, showing instead a more uniform blue with white veining. The material is sourced chiefly from Brazil, Canada, and Namibia, with further deposits in India and Russia.
AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
Care Note
Sodalite is a relatively soft stone (Mohs 5.5 to 6) and can scratch. Store these chips apart from harder stones and handle them gently to protect the polish.
