Description
Explore the natural beauty and unique personality of sodalite with our thoughtfully crafted sodalite bracelets. Sodalite is a favorite among gemstone enthusiasts for its striking blue hues, intricate patterns, and the subtle differences that make each piece truly one-of-a-kind. Our collection features both dark and lighter sodalite bracelets, allowing you to choose the look—and the experience—that best suits your style.
The dark sodalite bracelets are composed of beads with rich, deep blue coloration, sometimes accented by subtle veins of white or gray. These bracelets have a classic, bold appearance and are less reactive under UV light, making them ideal for those who appreciate a timeless, understated look. The depth of color in each bead is a testament to sodalite’s natural elegance and its enduring popularity in both jewelry and decorative arts.
In contrast, our lighter sodalite bracelets showcase beads with more prominent white streaks and patches, creating a softer, more varied appearance. These lighter beads are especially notable for their increased UV reactivity—under ultraviolet light, they often display a gentle glow or fluorescence, adding an interactive element to your jewelry collection. This makes the lighter sodalite bracelets a fascinating choice for collectors or anyone who enjoys the playful side of natural minerals.
Both the dark and lighter sodalite options are excellent for those interested in color therapy. Sodalite’s blues and whites are often associated with calm, clarity, and focus, and wearing these colors can be a simple way to incorporate color therapy principles into your daily routine.
Whether you’re drawn to the serene, cloud-like patterns of the lighter beads or the deep, oceanic blues of the darker ones, these bracelets offer a wearable way to enjoy the benefits of color and light.
Each bracelet is strung on a strong, stretch-resistant elastic cord for easy, comfortable wear. The beads are smoothly polished for a pleasant feel on the wrist, and the design is versatile enough to complement both casual and dressy outfits. To care for your sodalite bracelet, simply wipe with a soft cloth and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged sunlight to preserve the natural colors and any UV-reactive qualities.
Our bracelets are intuitively (or randomly, depending on your perspective) selected for each order, ensuring you receive a piece that’s as unique as you are. Don’t worry, though—we hand pick each piece so that only the most lovely pieces make it to our store!
Bead size: Most of our bracelets are 6–9mm.
Learn About Sodalite and the Sodalite Group
Sodalite, a captivating mineral with a vibrant blue hue, belongs to the sodalite group of tectosilicate minerals. Its chemical composition is Na8[AlSiO4]6Cl2, revealing its sodium, aluminum, silicon, oxygen, and chlorine constituents. This unique composition contributes to its striking color and various properties.
Sodalite is primarily found in igneous rocks, particularly nepheline syenite and phonolite. Notable mining locations include Canada, Greenland, Myanmar, and Russia. Its association with other minerals like hackmanite, lapis lazuli, and yooperlite within the sodalite-syenite series is intriguing.
Hackmanite, a variety of sodalite, exhibits a fascinating property known as tenebrescence. It changes color from colorless to pink or purple when exposed to ultraviolet light and reverts to its original color in darkness. Lapis lazuli, another member of the sodalite group, is a deep blue gemstone prized for its beauty and historical significance. It contains lazurite, a sodalite-group mineral, along with other minerals like pyrite and calcite. Yooperlite, a fluorescent sodalite variety, emits a bright orange glow under ultraviolet light, making it a sought-after collector’s item.
The sodalite-syenite series highlights the diverse range of minerals that can form within similar geological environments. Sodalite, with its distinct characteristics and captivating beauty, continues to fascinate both geologists and gem enthusiasts alike. The sodalite groups is part of the feldspathoid group.
UV Reactivity in the Sodalite Group
When it comes to UV reactivity, both sodalite and hackmanite exhibit interesting responses to ultraviolet light. When exposed to ultraviolet light, some sodalite specimens may display fluorescence or phosphorescence, emitting visible light in response to the UV radiation. This UV reactivity is a notable characteristic of certain sodalite minerals and adds to their visual appeal and interest to collectors.
