Sodalite is nice to wear as it not too dense and therefore lighter. It's a little bit fragile, so keep your beads from swinging into things.
As you might surmise, its name comes from sodium, which it contains. Blue Sodalite has been the preference of jewelers for such a long time that we tend to think of Sodalite as a blue mineral. It comes in a bunch of colors though. Right now, the combination of blue and orange sodalite is very popular. Sodalite also comes in yellow, green, red, pink and a sort of gray. It is rarely a solid color. It usually has a good bit of white in it.
It was first found in Greenland around 1811, but about 80 years passed before it was extensively used for decoration and jewelry. That is when they discovered another big deposit of Sodalite in Ontario, Canada.
