Sodalite
Sodalite is a deep, royal blue mineral often veined with streaks of white calcite, giving it a marbled look that can resemble lapis lazuli at a glance — though sodalite is a distinct mineral, generally a more uniform, less flecked blue. Its reputation in contemporary practice centers less on the wisdom-and-teaching territory lapis occupies and more on personal, individual clarity of judgment.
Meaning & Symbolism
Sodalite's five properties combine clear judgment and mental clarity with creative fire and passion — an interesting pairing, since it suggests clarity isn't purely cold or analytical here, but can coexist with genuine energy and drive. Within contemporary practice, it's often recommended for decisions that need both a clear head and real conviction, rather than pure detachment.
