Sodalite is a chlorine-containing sodium aluminosilicate mineral, sometimes containing potassium in its composition. It belongs to the sodalite group in mineralogy. In addition to sodalite, there are zoisite, both crystals. The structure is the same, but the additional anions are different, but the properties are very similar. Sodalite belongs to the equiaxed crystal system. The crystals are rhombic dodecahedrons, which are rare. They are mostly dense block and granular aggregates. They have glass luster to grease luster, transparent to opaque, and hardness of 5.5-6.0. Its color is dominated by tones, and the massive aggregates often have white or pink calcite spots and textures. The characteristics of this blue tone and white texture can also be seen on the polished surface of sodalite. Colorless glass will dissolve when exposed to hydrochloric acid. Sodalite will melt into colorless glass when heated, and will dissolve when exposed to hydrochloric acid. After the solution is placed on the glass and evaporated, sodium chloride Nacl can be formed. Sodalite will emit orange-purple fluorescence under ultraviolet light, and the rhombohedral dodecahedron cleavage is obvious in the crystal.
The blue transparent sodalite crystals can be processed into faceted gems, and the blue compact blocks can be made into curved gems or beaded. Large blocks can be used as raw materials for jade carving. Sodalite is the main component of lapis lazuli. It can usually be used to replace lapis lazuli. The two have similar appearances and are easy to be confused. Namun, sodalite rarely contains characteristic pyrite inclusions like lapis lazuli. Selain itu, it can be distinguished from lapis lazuli and other blue transparent gemstones based on its hardness, specific gravity, refractive index, and fluorescence phenomenon.
Sodalite is formed in igneous rocks and is the crystallization product of sodium-rich magma, often associated with minerals such as feldspar, zircon, leucite, and nepheline. The main producing areas are the United States, Canada, and Namibia. These countries have high-quality blue dark blue sodalite or blue transparent and translucent sodalite blocks. Other producing countries include Russia, Italia, Norway, Jerman, India, Brazil and Bolivia.
