Crushed Royal Blue Sodalite Sand (Grade A) from Brazil, Medium Sand (0.25mm-2mm)

Sodalite is a mineral that is known for its rich, royal blue hues. Frequently mottled with white veins of calcite, sodalite has been mistaken for lapis lazuli at first glance. This high-quality crushed sodalite is from Brazil and has very little to no associated calcite. This mineral is relatively soft, making it easy to handle and manipulate for inlay work. Our medium material is considered to be sand sized (very coarse sand to fine sand), ranging between 2 millimeters to 0.25 millimeters. Please see the corresponding sediment size chart.  Mineral Properties Mohs’s Hardness: 5 Specific Gravity (g/cm3): 2.15 - 2.40 Luster: Vitreous, Greasy Color: Royal Blue, Blue-Purple Origin: Brazil This product is not man-made, mixed with resin, dyed, or stabilized.
