Faceted Oval Sodalite Bead Strand

Faceted Oval Sodalite Bead Strand

The Stone of Logic and Intuition

This beautiful strand is composed of stunning faceted oval beads of natural Sodalite, a tectosilicate mineral prized for its rich, royal blue color, often streaked with beautiful white calcite veins. First discovered in Greenland in the early 19th century, its name reflects its high sodium content. Sodalite is sometimes called the “Poet’s Stone” and is cherished for its association with logic, rationality, and the union of intuition with intellect. The masterful oval faceting on each bead enhances the stone’s natural depth and creates a sophisticated play of light. This strand from our Sodalite collection is a perfect choice for crafting jewelry that inspires clarity of thought and deep insight.
