Pricing Information Regarding Authentic Sodalite Stone
Sodalite, also referred to as the "logic crystal," is a gorgeous deep blue stone that we can all afford without making a dent in our wallet. In India, natural sodalite stone prices vary from around INR 500 to INR 8000, depending on depth of the colour, clarity of the natural pattern, polish quality and structure. The darker the sodalite and the more pronounced the white veining, the more expensive it is.
Note: High quality sodalite, with rich navy tones, a bold marbling pattern, and little to no dull patches is most expensive. Even the least expensive sodalite pieces are still gorgeous; they provide you with the look of the night sky and a subconscious intellectual or cool feel, without the price of one!
Pricing & Quality Factors of Natural Sodalite Gemstone
The price of sodalite is not only determined by the stone's appearance. Other quality indicators include depth of colour, vein pattern, polish finish, hardness and durability of structure. In general, a high quality sodalite stone feels balanced and dense, visually appealing and provides stable and intuitive energy, as expected from sodalite.
Origin
Sodalite stone comes from four main countries such as Canada, Brazil, Namibia and Russia. Each country has its own distinguishing characteristics. Canadian carved gemstone is often a deep navy colour while Brazilian sodalite has a softer blue colour and a balanced pattern.
Color
High-quality Sodalite is characterized by saturated royal-blue sodalite stone hues juxtaposed with crisp, naturally occurring white or grey streaks. Premier pieces mimic swirling night skies as bold and smooth, deeply pigmented blue make Sodalite jewelry feel artistic and lightheartedly modern.
Clarity
Premium Sodalite has clean color zones with well-defined veining instead of chaotic splotches and blotches. Minor inclusion is normal; however, excessively cloudy, or fractured Sodalite will likely seem less durable than non-fractured options. Multiple cracks and surface fractures impact both form and energetic stability.
Carat
For Sodalite stone, the carat weight metric includes consideration of both weight and species. Well-polished medium-weight pieces tend to allow for higher stability and often display fewer surface issues than oversized weights. The comparison of a large Sodalite pendant piece can be visually impressive.
Cut
The cut speaks to the shades of depth Sodalite's color presents visually. The cut options of a cabochon, a sphere, and polished beaded cuts accentuate the color depth in contrast to the color veining. The cut in a well-finished choice of cut enhances texture, visual weight, balance, and richness that only gives the stone the pretense of cost, while maintaining attributes of a mineral stone.
