Meaning & symbolism
Sodalite is a rich royal-blue stone, often streaked with white veins of calcite, and it has long been treasured as a stone of clear thinking and honest expression. Its deep, calm colour suits its reputation: where some stones stir feeling, sodalite settles the mind and helps you find the right words.
Traditions associate sodalite with the throat and third-eye chakras, the seats of communication and insight. It is reached for to support logic, focus and self-expression, and to bring a calm, rational order to scattered thoughts. For study, writing, difficult conversations or any task that asks for a clear head, sodalite makes a steadying and articulate companion.

Keep a piece on a desk or beside your books while you study or write, as a quiet cue to stay focused and think clearly.
Hold a tumbled stone before a conversation that matters, breathing slowly and setting an intention to speak honestly and calmly. Carrying one through a busy day can help you feel more level-headed and articulate.
Cleansing & care
Sodalite is a 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, softer than quartz, so a quick rinse is fine but avoid salt water, scrubbing and long soaks. Recharge it with moonlight, smoke, sound or a selenite plate. Its deep blue can fade under prolonged direct sunlight, so charge it in shade or moonlight rather than on a sunny windowsill.
