What Is Sodalite?

It was first known in Greenland in 1811, but then it actually became much more popular in Canada in 1981, and started getting more so after then. This was around the time that stones started getting used in ornaments more and more and more.
Its color can also be easily mixed up with lapis lazuli (see also, ‘What is Lapis Lazuli Used for?), this is because both of these stones can actually be very alike in both their color and in their texture. However, they are different, but learning to spot the differences is not an easy feat.
