Sodalite - Meaning and Effect
Sodalite supports to stay true to yourself and your guidelinesn. The pursuit and search for truth is the central theme of the blue stone. Awareness is strengthened so that things can be seen more clearly. Sodalite thus conveys idealism and facilitates standing up for one's own deep convictions, so that plans receive the still necessary kick, perhaps also a small but necessary correction.
Origin of the name Sodalite and synonyms
The Sodalite received its name in 1811 by the English mineralogist and chemist Professor Thomas Thomson (1773 - 1852). This named the mineral because of its high sodium content "Sodalite", based on the English word "sodium" for sodium. Wholesale sodalite is also occasionally referred to as alomite, bluestone, glaucolite, Canadian bluestone, odalite or soda stone.

Historical aspects of Sodalite
Sodalite has a controversial political history: The explorer Karl Ludwig Giesecke traveled to Greenland in 1806 on behalf of the Danish king to search for new, previously unknown minerals. Due to the Napoleonic War, Giesecke could not return home immediately after his research trip and therefore had to stay in Greenland until 1813. So he had a lot of time to explore the country - during this time the number of minerals known from Greenland doubled! Giesecke's first shipment of minerals to the Danish king was on a ship captured by the British; the minerals were subsequently auctioned off in Scotland! The Sodalite from Greenland is not particularly attractive - it is mostly gray or greenish-blue. The beautiful blue material found in retail and wholesale today comes from Brazil and Namibia.
