These stones just called to me when I found them. This pretty bracelet is made up of sodalite chips with 4mm & 6mm sodalite rounds with a 3,2mm silver spacer bead inbetween. This lovely bracelet measures 7.5" long and adjusts up to 8" and is finished with a lobster claw clasp and 2 3,2mm silver rounds.

Sodalite is a rich royal blue mineral widely enjoyed as an ornamental stone. Although massive sodalite samples are opaque, crystals are usually transparent to translucent. Sodalite is a member of the sodalite group and together with hauyne, nosean and lazurite is a common constituent of lapis lazuli. Discovered in 1806 in Greenland, sodalite did not become important as an ornamental stone until 1891 when vast deposits of fine material were discovered in Ontario, Canada. It has since been named Princess Blue after Princess Patricia who, upon visiting Ontario some time after its discovery, chose sodalite as interior decoration for Marlborough House in England.
