Quick facts Stone Sodalite Composition Sodium aluminum silicate chloride Hardness (Mohs) 5.5 – 6 Color Deep blue with white veining Chakra Throat Traditionally used for Truth, clear communication, calm confidence Care / Water-safe Durable — a brief rinse is fine; avoid harsh chemicals Meaning & history Sodalite takes its name from its sodium content and has long been valued for its deep, even blue tone, sometimes described as the quieter cousin of lapis lazuli. In crystal tradition, sodalite is associated with truth and clear, grounded communication, and is frequently linked to the throat chakra, the energy center connected to self-expression in many traditions. Many people choose it when they want to feel more centered and honest in how they speak. For more stones with a similar calming intent, see our balance & wellness collection. How to wear it Wear the pendant on its chain for everyday use, letting it sit naturally near the throat, or layer it with other simple pendants for a more textured look. Some people save it for moments that call for calm, honest conversation — a meeting, a difficult talk, or public speaking — as a small grounding touchstone. Care & cleansing Sodalite is fairly durable at around 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, so a brief rinse under cool water is fine for the stone itself. Still, it's best to remove the pendant before swimming, showering, or cleaning, and to avoid harsh chemicals and perfumes, which can dull the polish or tarnish the sterling silver setting. Dry it gently with a soft cloth after wear, and store it away from other jewelry to prevent scratches. Pairs naturally with our Kyanite Rough. Frequently asked questions What is a sodalite pendant?
