Product Description:
Add deep, calming blue elegance with brilliant faceted sparkle to your jewelry designs with our Sodalite Faceted Cube Beads Strands. These stunning beads feature natural sodalite – a rich royal blue to navy blue gemstone prized for its velvety blue hues and distinctive white calcite veining that creates a beautiful, marble-like contrast.

Sodalite is a natural sodium aluminum silicate mineral, often called the "Poet's Stone" or "Stone of Logic." The natural stone is carefully shaped into cube beads – a clean, contemporary shape – then faceted to enhance its deep blue color and white veining patterns. The beads range from approximately eight to nine millimeters, offering subtle variation that adds organic visual interest to uniform designs. Each strand measures approximately thirty-eight centimeters in length, strung and knotted for safe shipping.

💙✨ What are Sodalite Faceted Cube Beads?
These elegant beads feature genuine natural sodalite in a modern faceted cube shape.
About Sodalite:
Sodalite is a rich royal blue to navy blue tectosilicate mineral named for its high sodium content. It is prized for its deep, velvety blue color and distinctive white calcite veining, which gives each stone a unique, marble-like appearance. Major sources include Brazil, Canada (Ontario), Russia, India, Namibia, and the United States. Sodalite is often confused with lapis lazuli, but lapis lazuli contains golden pyrite flecks while sodalite has white calcite veining. Sodalite is the official gemstone of the Canadian province of Ontario.
About the Faceted Cube Shape:
The cube is a modern, geometric bead shape that offers a clean, contemporary look. When faceted, the cube shape creates brilliant sparkle from every angle, making it a popular choice for designers seeking something beyond traditional round beads.
Size Range:
These beads range from approximately 8mm to 9mm, offering subtle variation that adds organic visual interest while maintaining overall uniformity.
Sodalite vs. Lapis Lazuli vs. Dumortierite:
| Stone | Color | Inclusions | Hardness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodalite | Royal blue, navy | White calcite veins | 5.5-6 |
| Lapis Lazuli | Ultramarine blue | Golden pyrite flecks | 5-6 |
| Dumortierite | Cornflower to indigo | White/grey mottling | 7-8.5 |
Important Care Reminder:
Sodalite is softer than many other gemstones. Avoid wearing with harder stones like agate, quartz, or jasper in the same bracelet to prevent scratching. Best suited for necklaces, earrings, and occasional-wear bracelets. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
Perfect for Throat Chakra and Communication Jewelry:
The combination of sodalite's deep blue logic-enhancing energy and modern faceted cube sparkle makes these beads perfect for throat chakra designs, communication-themed pieces, public speakers' accessories, students' jewelry, and any project needing a calming, focused, distinctive touch.
