Sodalite Tower

What is sodalite?

Sodalite is a rich blue ornamental mineral originally discovered in Greenland in 1806. The name Sodalite reflects the stone's sodium content. Sodalite is found in all shades of blue.

It is a major constituent of the rock lapis lazuli, so the two are easily confused. However, unlike lapis lazuli, sodalite very rarely contains brassy pyrite specks. 

The most important source of sodalite is Bancroft in Ontario, Canada. Bancroft is called the "Mineral Capital of Canada" because of its unique area geology. There are really only three large deposits of sodalite in the world and they are all in Canada: Bancroft, Dungannon Township and Hastings County, Ontario. It is for this reason that sodalite is known as the gem of Canada.
