Sodalite is a deep blue to blue-violet gemstone, often featuring white veining or mottling. As a sodium aluminum silicate, it is valued for its rich color and relatively uniform appearance. Sodalite is moderately hard and suitable for a variety of jewelry applications, including necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Dakota Stones offers sodalite beads that are carefully selected for color consistency and quality, making them a reliable choice for designers seeking a natural blue stone with visual interest.
