💙 Uruguay Sodalite Slab – Deep Blue with Hematite Inclusions
This slab of Uruguay Sodalite showcases bright blue patterns with striking inclusions, including what appear to be natural iron hematite inclusions. It has some microfractures, but they’re shallow and shouldn’t interfere with cutting or display. A beautiful piece with excellent contrast and personality—this material really pops.
📏 Measurements (inches - longest - approx): 3.6 x 2.8 x 0.23
Sodalite is a well-known blue tectosilicate lapidary material named for its high sodium content. It has historically been mistaken for Lapis Lazuli due to the vivid blue tones both stones can exhibit. This particular sodalite comes from Uruguay, which is known for producing some of the deepest, most saturated blues in the sodalite world—occasionally so rich they appear nearly purple. It’s a striking and collectible material that cuts well and holds its color beautifully.
📝 Natural Stone Disclaimer:
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.
These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations. If you have any questions about a specific piece, feel free to contact us before ordering.
🖼️ Photo Disclaimer:
To best showcase the color, pattern, and potential of each stone, most photos are taken with the material wet to simulate the appearance of a polished finish. The final photo is taken dry to help highlight any natural surface imperfections such as fractures, pits, or voids. Please review all images carefully before purchasing.
