History and folklore
Sodalite was named in the early 1800s for its sodium content. Large deposits found in Ontario, Canada, became famous after a piece was used to decorate a British royal residence, earning it the nickname Princess Blue. Because it resembles lapis lazuli but has white veins rather than gold flecks, it was traditionally used as a more affordable stand-in. Modern witches work with sodalite for clear thinking, calm speech, and finding balance between head and heart.
