This is a quality lapidary material with a nicely contrasted piece of dark blue sodalite var. hackmanite and white microcline from the famous Mont-Saint-Hilaire in Quebec. It is highly florescent orange under Longwave UltraViolet (LUV) Light.
Sodalite is usually found in the massive form, rather than crystals. Its name is derived from its sodium content. This stone is frequently found with lapis lazuli, but contains little or no golden pyrite specks in it as lapis does. It may, however, contain patches or streaks of white calcite. Although some people think that sodalite resembles lapis in some ways, it is entirely different in chemical composition and has more of a navy blue coloring. Would be a quality lapidary material or a beautiful addition to any new or existing rock collection.
