Sodalite 8x10-9x13mm Side Drilled Pebble - 15-16 Inch Puff Teardrop rust reds with white plumesSodalite is named for its sodium content and may be classified as a feldspathoid. Blue Sodalite is sometimes referred to as poor mans lapis because of its similar color and much lower cost. Queen Victorias granddaughter, Princess Patricia of Connaught, was inspired by the stone and chose it for the interior decorations of Marlborough House in England. This prompted an alternative name for the gemstone: Princess Blue.
