Sodalite: Mineralogy and Origins
Sodalite is a sodium-bearing tectosilicate mineral in the feldspathoid group, named for its high sodium content. Its distinctive royal blue color, often threaded with white calcite veining, comes from sulfur radicals trapped within the crystal lattice. The finest gem-grade sodalite comes from Brazil, where the stone forms in nepheline syenite intrusions and produces the deep blue material most prized for cutting and jewelry. Each piece sold here is shaped into a point, with a drilled hole at the top for immediate stringing.
The point form is distinct from tumbled sodalite or flat cabochons. A point channels and directs focus, making it a different tool in practice than a palm stone or bracelet bead. The drilled hole means you can wear this crystal as a pendant without additional wire work, though the hole also provides a perfect anchor point for elaborate wire-wrapping designs. Sizes, colors, and white vein patterns vary naturally from piece to piece, and each is chosen at random.
Throat Chakra, Third Eye, and Practitioner Uses
Sodalite is strongly associated with the throat chakra, Vishuddha, and the third eye, Ajna, in contemporary crystal practice. Practitioners working with communication, self-expression, and creative clarity often reach for sodalite when they want to articulate ideas more precisely or move through creative blocks. The stone is also used in meditation for calming an overactive mind, stabilizing emotions, and bringing rational order to emotional situations. Crystal workers note that sodalite tends to support honest self-assessment rather than escapism.
As a pendant point, this piece directs the stone’s focus downward toward the heart when worn, creating a bridge between the throat and heart centers. Jewelry makers who wire-wrap crystals often prefer points with pre-drilled holes because the anchor point is already established, making it straightforward to build a setting without drilling equipment.

How to Use a Sodalite Point with Hole
Three ways to work with a sodalite crystal point that has a pre-drilled hole.
- Wear It as a Simple Cord Pendant
Thread a leather cord, waxed linen, or thin chain through the drilled hole and tie securely. This is the fastest way to wear the point close to the throat chakra without any additional materials or metalwork skills needed.
- Use as a Wire-Wrap Anchor
Thread your wire gauge through the pre-drilled hole to establish a secure top anchor, then wrap the body of the point in your chosen wire style. The existing hole eliminates the need to drill and protects the stone from cracking during setting.
- Hold as a Meditation Focus
Hold the point with the tip facing toward the floor or your heart during seated meditation. The pointed end focuses your attention and serves as a tactile reminder to return to the practice whenever your mind wanders from your intention.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry this sodalite point because it solves a real problem for jewelry makers and practitioners who want to wear a crystal point without drilling their own stones. The pre-drilled hole is clean and centered, and the Brazilian sodalite used here shows good depth of color rather than the washed-out pale blue common in lower grades. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, so the inclusions and vein patterns you receive will differ from photos.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Sodalite and lapis lazuli are distinct minerals. Lapis is a rock containing lazurite, pyrite, and calcite. Sodalite is a single mineral, typically cleaner blue with white veining and without pyrite flecks.
The drill hole size varies slightly by piece, but is typically sized to accommodate standard cord, thin leather, or fine jewelry wire for wrapping. Always test your cord before committing to a knot or crimp.
Yes. Points are directional tools in grids and work well as outer amplifying stones pointing inward toward a central stone, or as directional markers at cardinal positions in a circle or geometric layout.
Sodalite is primarily associated with the throat chakra for communication and self-expression, and the third eye chakra for intuition and mental clarity. It bridges logical thinking with inner perception.
