Interesting Facts
The most celebrated source is the Princess Sodalite Mine just east of Bancroft, Ontario, named in 1901 for the Princess of Wales, when during a royal visit to the World’s Fair in Buffalo, New York, she was presented with a gift of Bancroft Sodalite and was so captivated by it that arrangements were made to quarry enough to decorate her London residence, Marlborough House. In 1906, 130 tons of the rock were shipped to England to be used as a decorative stone in the Princess’ royal home.
History
- In the ancient world nearly all deep blue stones were called Sapphire, Lapis, or Azure stone, and the historical lore would most likely have labeled Sodalite as Lapis.
- In ancient tombs and ruins, Sodalite has been discovered in places of ornamentation where Lapis Lazuli might have been expected.
- Frequently used by Egyptian priests to dispel guilt and fears, and to strengthen the power of mind over body.
- Around 2,600 BC, the Caral peoples traded for sodalite in what is now Peru, as did the residents of Tiwanaku in modern Bolivia.
- Sodalite was first discovered in 1811 in the Ilimaussaq complex in Greenland
- It gained importance as an ornamental stone in 1891 when vast deposits of fine material were found in Ontario, Canada.
