Historical Folklore
Ancient civilizations may have unknowingly used sodalite as a material for painting and sculpting.
Sodalite was formally discovered sometime in the 1800s. Some say it was first discovered in Greenland, while others believe it was originally found somewhere in Europe. It would not see widespread use for several decades, up until it was discovered to be in great supply in Canada.
After the 1800s, sodalite became a popular decorative stone. Some say it was a favorite of princesses.
This stone is believed to be excellent for writers and speakers for its power to enhance communication in all forms.
Due to its coloration, sodalite has often been confused for lapis lazuli.
