The more poetic moniker for this lovely blue-and-white stone is "poor man's lapis." At first sight, lapis lazuli and sodalite are similar, but closer inspection reveals pyrite specks in lapis that distinguish the two stones. To further confuse matters, sodalite may occasionally be found in lapis lazuli, which is officially a rock (which is a mineral in itself). Azurite, dumortierite, and lazulite are sometimes mixed up with sodalite. Since sodalite was discovered in Ontario in 1891 while two members of the British Royal Family were visiting, it is also known as "Princess Blue" in Canada. The stone was known across the Americas before its official entry into Western mineralogy, however: around 2, 600 BC, the Caral peoples traded for sodalite in what is now Peru, as did the residents of Tiwanaku in modern Bolivia. Don't let the unimaginative name fool you; sodalite is a gorgeous gemstone with some interesting--even humorous--history and inspiring design possibilities. Sodalite Metaphysical Properties Some people believe that sodalite protects heroes and heroines, especially those who speak truth to power. It is said to have the power to bring logic and intuition together, as well as the desire for truth and the growth of idealism. Because sodalite is supposed to encourage rational cognition, objectivity, and observation, practitioners have employed it to organise the mind. It is occasionally believed to purge lymph nodes and strengthen the immune system. Because of all these balancing properties, sodalite is frequently used alongside other stones and by numerous people at once. Sodalite is associated with the throat chakra and the Sagittarius sign in western astrology. According to feng shui, it has water vitality.
