Frog on Leaf on Black Cord Necklace Stone Gemstone Gem Sodalite is a rich royal blue mineral widely enjoyed as an ornamental stone. Although massive sodalite samples are opaque, crystals are usually transparent to translucent. Sodalite's name refers to its sodium content. The white inclusions are Calcite. It comes from Bahia, Brazil. Discovered in 1806 in Greenland, sodalite did not become important as an ornamental stone until 1891 when vast deposits of fine material were discovered in Ontario, Canada. It has since been named Princess Blue after Princess Patricia who, upon visiting Ontario some time after its discovery, chose sodalite as interior decoration for Marlborough House in England. This hand carved frog .75 inch long by more than .5 inch wide and the whole piece is .5 inch thick. It sits on a 1.25 inch by .75 inch green leaf carved from Aventurine-a green quartz from Brazil. It has lots of detail and is very nice! The end of the leaf is drilled and it is strung on a black cloth cord that is 26 inches long. It hangs at 13 inches, but is designed with slip knots to be ajustable to whatever length you wish to wear it at. Metaphysical Properties: Sodalite is a stone of logic, rationality, and efficiency. Sodalite is a stone that is good for healing breaches in communication. It is a stone of truth, and brings this to all communications. It can help end arguments or other disagreements. It is particularly useful for honesty of emotions. The frog represents healing, cleansing, health, and honesty. In myths they are bringers of rain or thunder, calling the water down with their croaking. In Ancient China toads were a symbol of longevity, and they were associated with Liu Hai, the God of wealth. In Rome, the frog was believed to bring good luck to the home.
