Sodalite and Lapis Lazuli can be easily mistaken for each other at first glance; however, lapis contains flecks of pyrite that make the two stones differ upon a closer look. Sodalite does not contain pyrite, its named for it's sodium content. The stone was known across the Americas before its official entry into Western mineralogy. It has been found that around 2,600 BC, the Caral peoples traded for sodalite in what is now Peru, as did the residents of Tiwanaku in modern Bolivia. Sodalite Metaphysical Properties according to various sources. Sodalite is sometimes considered a guardian for heroes and heroines, especially those speaking truth to power. Practitioners have used sodalite to organize the mind, as it's said to promote rational thought, objectivity and perception. It is sometimes thought to cleanse lymph nodes and boost the immune system. All these balancing abilities are why sodalite is often used in groups with other stones and among multiple users. Sodalite is assigned to the throat chakra and to the western astrological sign Sagittarius. In Feng Shui, it is thought to possess water energy. I have also read that Sodalite is used used to help promote peaceful sleep. Sodalite Geological Properties While blue (with white inclusions) is the most common color of sodalite, this stone can also be found in grey, green, yellow, light red and lavender varieties.
