A little stone TED talk- stick around if you like a little history- “ Sodalite” - soda meaning “salt” and “ite” meaning “stone or mineral” - literally this means salt stone. This stone was first discovered in 1811 in Greenland ( as the story goes) and then found in Canada in 1891. In the early 1900s Queen Mary ( Duchess of Cornwall at the time) was gifted Canadian sodalite- she was so enamored with it, she ordered 100 tons of it and decorated her Marlborough house in London. Hence, “Princess Blue” name for Canadian soldalite was popularized during this time. Another really fun fact - if you are into the metaphysical - it is called the “Poets Stone” or “Stone of Truth”. Take from that why you may 😉
However this stone is seen all over ancient history- in modern day Peru and modern day Bolivia. I personally love sodalite that has these zips of bright orange- we add a few funky silver dangles to these earrings and there you have it ☀️☀️
