Sodalite
Also known as: Stone of Logic, Blue Tigers Eye, Writers' Stone, Truth Stone
About Sodalite
Sodalite is a rich royal blue mineral streaked with white calcite veins, creating a striking appearance that resembles a snowy landscape against a twilight sky. Named for its high sodium content, sodalite was first discovered in Greenland in 1806 but did not become widely known until large deposits were found in Brazil in the 1890s. Unlike lapis lazuli, sodalite lacks the golden pyrite inclusions and is generally more affordable while still offering powerful metaphysical properties. In Vedic tradition, sodalite is associated with the Throat and Third Eye chakras, enhancing both intellectual communication and spiritual insight. At Reiki Heal, sodalite is our stone of choice for writers, thinkers, and anyone who needs to combine logical analysis with intuitive understanding. It is called the 'Stone of Logic' because of its remarkable ability to quieten emotional noise and bring objective clarity to complex problems. This stone creates a bridge between the rational mind and the intuitive spirit, allowing you to make decisions that are both smart and soulful.

Crystal Care
Sodalite can be cleansed by smudging with sage or palo santo, or by placing it on a selenite charging plate. Brief rinsing under cool running water is acceptable, but avoid prolonged water exposure and harsh chemicals. Recharge it in gentle morning sunlight or under the full moon. Handle gently due to its moderate hardness.
