According to tradition, sodalite stands for truth, a clear mind and honest words. In old stories it is the stone of people who say what they think. Good to know: these are stories and experiences of people. Any effect of sodalite is not scientifically proven.
Still, many women wear the stone precisely for that meaning. A piece of jewelry with a story feels more personal. Below you can read what tradition tells about sodalite, and how you can relate to it yourself.

Where does the meaning of sodalite come from?
The meaning of sodalite is closely linked to its color. In many cultures, blue stands for the sky and the sea. It is the color of space, silence and overview.
Then there is the history of the stone. Deep blue sodalite from Canada is also sold as Princess Blue, after a gift to the British royal family in 1901. That story gave the stone a dignified, royal image. Want to learn more about the stone itself first? Then read what is sodalite.
What does sodalite stand for in old stories?
In tradition, sodalite comes with a few recurring themes.
Speaking honestly
According to tradition, sodalite is the stone of the honest voice. Wearers say they put the stone on before an important conversation, as a quiet reminder. The blue reminds them to stay calm and to say clearly what they think.
Clear thinking
In old stories the stone also stands for order in your thoughts. That is why many people experience sodalite as a nice stone to wear while studying or working. This is a personal experience and not a proven effect.
Being true to yourself
A third theme is self acceptance. According to spiritual sources, sodalite suits people who want to please others less and live more by their own values. This too is a meaning that people give to the stone.

Which zodiac sign suits sodalite?
In astrology, tradition links sodalite mainly to Sagittarius. Sagittarians are known as honest and direct, and that fits the story of the stone. Some sources also mention Virgo and Aquarius.
Sodalite is not on the classic list of birthstones. Looking for a stone that belongs to your birth month? Then take a look at the birthstone by month. You can easily combine it with a blue sodalite afterwards.
How do spiritual traditions link sodalite to chakras?
In spiritual traditions, sodalite belongs to the throat chakra and the third eye chakra. There, the throat chakra stands for communication and the third eye chakra for insight. That matches the image of sodalite as the stone of clear words.
For jewelry, this mainly says something about where you wear it. People who value the symbolism often choose a necklace with a pendant at chest height. An earring close to your face also fits that idea. You will find lovely options among the gemstone necklaces.
Is what tradition says about sodalite true?
No. There is no scientific evidence that sodalite does anything to your thoughts, your voice or your body. The stories come from tradition, astrology and spiritual beliefs.
That does not make the stone any less beautiful. A piece of jewelry can still mean something to you, because you connect a story to it. Think of a bracelet you received when you started a new job. Every time you see it, you think back to that moment.

How do you make sodalite your own symbol?
A meaning does not have to come from a book, you can also decide it yourself.
Some women choose a bracelet as a reminder of a resolution. Think of saying no more often, or being more honest about what you want. Every time you see the blue around your wrist, you think of it for a moment. That way the jewelry gets a role in your day.
Others choose an earring gemstone that they change depending on the occasion. A small oval stone for a busy workday, the larger Blossom for a party. The Mix & Match idea behind this jewelry makes switching easy. That way the meaning adapts to your life.
Is sodalite a meaningful gift?
Yes, especially if you tell the story with it. A sodalite bracelet suits someone who is taking an exciting step, like a presentation or a new course. The blue then symbolizes trust in her own voice.
Quality also counts with a gift. The bracelets have 925 sterling silver as their base, and craftspeople in Italy, Bangkok and Hong Kong make them by hand. The brand started in 2014 in the Netherlands and is now sold by more than 500 jewelers across Europe. Browse all jewelry with sodalite stone and pick a style that suits her.
