Sodalite Double Butterfly Pendant from China
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).

Double-Binder Pendants
The stone cut into double-cylinder is fixed in a silver- or gold-coloured holder with eye. The double-inder has a length of about 3.2 cm, measured without the eye. These pendants are available in various stone types and are supplied individually. Due to the use of natural stone, colour, markings and finish may vary slightly from one pendant to another.
