A refined accessory that enhances any ensemble with understated luxury and timeless appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodalite is a lightweight mineral that, while moderately hard, remains quite brittle. Its name reflects its high sodium content, and in mineral classification, it falls under the feldspathoid group. Most recognized for its deep blue hue, sodalite can also appear in shades of grey, yellow, green, or pink, often accented with white streaks or patches. The more consistently blue specimens are prized in jewellery-making, typically shaped into cabochons or beads, while lower-grade material is commonly used for decorative inlays or surface treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough it bears resemblance to lazurite and lapis lazuli, sodalite is distinct in several ways. It seldom contains pyrite—an inclusion frequently found in lapis—and its coloration leans toward a classic royal blue rather than the intense ultramarine of its counterparts. Another identifying feature is its white streak, which sets it apart from similar minerals. Sodalite also exhibits six weak cleavage planes, often visible as fine cracks within the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LDJ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44067266527412,"sku":"LDJ-1484","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/4695\/3652\/files\/1484.jpg?v=1760749721","url":"https:\/\/lilducksjewellery.com.au\/products\/bracelit-sodalite-and-blue-hematite","provider":"Lil Ducks Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
