Sodalite | Rough Sodalite | 70.9 grams | Mont Saint Hilaire, Quebec, Canada | SO24 Pseudomorph Tourmalinated Quartz is a crystalSodalite is usually found in the massive form, rather than crystals. Its name is derived from its sodium content. This stone is frequently found with lapis lazuli, but contains little or no golden pyrite specks in it as lapis does. It may, however, contain patches or streaks of white calcite. Although some people think that sodalite resembles lapis in some ways, it is entirely different in chemical composition and has more of a navy blue coloring.
