Historical Lore:
Sodalite was first described in 1811 following its discovery in Greenland, and later significant deposits were found in Ontario, Canada. It is a tectosilicate mineral commonly used in decorative stonework and mineral collections due to its deep blue colour. Historically, sodalite has been valued primarily as an ornamental and specimen stone rather than for widespread ancient jewellery use. It is often mistaken for lapis lazuli in appearance, but is compositionally distinct and became more widely utilized in decorative arts after its identification in the 19th century.
