Sodalite 8mm Round 15-16 Inch Cut Cube with inclusions of iron oxideSodalite 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.
