Sodalite Raising Stones
Sodalite
Sodalite is a blue mineral from the feldspar replacement group that often contains white veins or flecks of calcite. It is valued for its deep colour and glassy luster. Sodalite is mainly found in igneous rocks such as syenite and nephelineite.
Major deposits include Canada, Brazil, Namibia and Russia. Its chemical formula is Na₈(Al₆Si₆O₂₄)Cl₂. Its hardness is around 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale.
A well-known variant is hackmanite, a rare form of sodalite that can exhibit fluorescence or tenebrescence (discolouration under UV light).

Imposing bricks
Lay-on stones are flat, tumbled and smoothly polished (precious) stones that, due to their oval to round shape and flat sides, are suitable for laying on the body, for instance during a relaxation moment. Compared to regular tumble stones and pocket stones, overlay stones have a more flattened shape, which makes them stay well in place. Despite this consistency, it remains a natural product, so variations in shape, colour and pattern can always occur. This can vary from one type of stone to another.
Generally, overlays have a size between 3 and 4 cm with a thickness of about 1 cm. Almost all our overlays are cut in China, where they are carefully selected and processed. The product photos give a good impression of what to expect. Lay-on stones are sold per 100 gr (1x), with a minimum order of 200 gr (2x).
