Sodalite is a rich royal blue mineral widely enjoyed as an ornamental stone. 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.
Significant deposits of fine material are restricted to but a few locales: Bancroft, Ontario and Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Quebec in Canada; and Litchfield, Maine and Magnet Cove, Arkansas in the USA.
Each piece of Sodalite is a unique size and shape. Pictures for illustration only.
