About this Sodalite bracelet

Sodalite was prized in the early twentieth century as an interior stone for libraries and writing rooms — the deep blue reads as serious without being sombre, which is why it ended up in so many panelled studies. In contemporary crystal tradition the stone is associated with logic, careful articulation, and the kind of focus that holds through a long argument.

Teachers across the island wear it through term; lawyers wear it on court days; analysts wear it through quarterly close. Each bracelet is handcrafted in our Pointe aux Sables atelier — the white calcite veining means we hand-sort strands so the pattern stays graceful across the whole bracelet, not bunched on one side. 2187.

History

Sodalite is a relatively recent discovery compared to ancient gemstones, first officially documented in Greenland in the early nineteenth century. It gained significant prominence in 1891 when large deposits were discovered in Canada, coinciding with a visit from the British royal family, leading to its traditional moniker 'Princess Blue'. The name is a literal reference to its high sodium content, combining 'soda' with the Greek 'lithos' for stone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is sodalite hard enough for daily office wear?

Yes — sodalite sits around Mohs 5.5–6, which is comfortably daily-wear durable. Office life, the commute, the school run are all fine. Take the bracelet off before the gym, the lagoon, or any cleaning task involving bleach: those are the three contexts that visibly age the stone faster than time alone.

How do I cleanse it in our humidity?

No water. The white calcite veining is softer and more porous than the surrounding sodalite; soaking dulls the contrast over months. Wipe the beads with a dry microfibre cloth. For energetic cleansing, leave the bracelet on a windowsill in soft morning light, or rest it on a soft moonlight.

Why does my bracelet have white streaks while others don't?

Those white streaks are calcite, and they are the natural marker that the sodalite is real rather than dyed glass or lapis substitute. Veined beads and cleaner-blue beads sit on opposite ends of the same strand. If you want a tighter look — mostly clean blue, or mostly veined — tell us before we string and we'll sort to your preference.

Is sodalite the same as sapphire?

No, though they are often confused — both are deep blue and both come out of similar pegmatite environments. Lapis is darker, carries gold citrine flecks, and costs many times more per gram. Sodalite is a paler, more uniform blue with white calcite. Both are excellent stones; sodalite is the workhorse, lapis is the heirloom.
