Double-point Vogel sodalite pendant, size: 3 cm

Sodalite was first discovered in Greenland in 1806 by the Danish-Norwegian mineralogist, Lass Hans Oersted. He named the mineral after its sodium content.

Sodalite is associated with the throat chakra (the fifth chakra). This crystal is often used to stimulate this chakra and aid in communication and self-expression. It is also believed that sodalite can activate the third eye chakra, helping with mental clarity and enhancing intuition.

Sodalite is often used as a decorative stone. It can improve communication and understanding between people, so it is recommended to place it in social areas or offices. It can also be placed in a meditation space to help clarify thoughts and increase intuition.
